Downer of the Day: Chevy Beat not coming to U.S. {Autoblog Green}
Jul 15th 2008 2:15PM It's time for the US to temporarily change it's crash and emission standards to the European standards. This would allow manufacturers to quickly bring the small cars that are needed to the market.
Reader Question: How bad is my SUV? {Autoblog Green}
Jul 8th 2008 11:33PM Another factor to consider is the carbon used to transport the SUV to the dealer. Ships use the dirtiest form of deisel with no regulations on their emmisions. I'd look for something with the hightest US content to aviod being in the carbon hole right out of the gate.
