Hi Stevo12886:

___Except that they (Toyota) are the most profitable large Automobile manufacturer on the planet and they produce the Sequoia and Land Cruiser which are on the absolute bottom of the Green lists I have seen. Supposedly the new HH is going to be just a SULEV? The Echo is a LEV, and my Corolla is a ULEV right now. There are Ford F150’s cleaner then the Echo and as clean my Corolla! Ford had a shot at the title as well but won’t take it either? The 2004 PZEV 2.3 in the Focus was available to everyone in any state and now (2005) it’s a 2.0E available only to those in the Green states for some reason? Another very large step backward for all concerned

___Both Toyota and Ford are moving ahead at least (along with Honda) but the rest of the world seems to be stuck in LEV/ULEV zone. With a few exceptions of course including some models form BMW, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Volvo in no particular order?

___Good Luck

i completely agree wayne. when i read about the pzev focus i was very happy, hopefully some of this technology sharing will bring a pzev version to the corolla and some other improvements in greenness.
