well...if you take into consideration the fact that their standards revolve around the gasoline powered engines, i dont see this as an entirely bad thing. the large vehicles will take a huge PR hit, and nothing gives a company more incentive to improve than bad PR and lower sales.

Hardest hit will be hybrids as all-electric driving is not considered. At the same time, many medium-duty vehicles will get rated, but not have to be published until 2011 This move to more realistic ratings will severely reduce the high numbers some cars have posted."
