"...Lee Hyun-Soon, president of Hyundai, told the Wall Street Journal
last week his company will meet the entire 2020 standard by 2015, and
will do so entirely with conventional vehicles -- no complex plug-in
hybrids, just sensible engineering using existing technology. Whenever
Washington seems to get serious about oil waste, Toyota, Honda,
Hyundai and Subaru put their engineers to work -- then build, at
American factories staffed by American workers, vehicles that comply
with MPG rules. Whenever Washington seems to get serious about oil
waste, Chrysler, Ford and General Motors put their lobbyists at work
to dilute or evade the standards."
Accurate and sad.

That's like the old story about how when Congress mandated higher
mileages standards, Toyota and Nissan hired a thousand engineers,
while General Motors hired a thousand lawyers.
I don't believe this story. There weren't that many lawyers and
engineers back in the dark ages when Congress last increased
the mileage standards.
