They're also buying a lot of big SUV's and Tundra pickups under the Toyota label.

Fact is, people ARE buying fuel efficient cars...under the Toyota label. It's a big reason why Toyota is #1 now. What's so hard to understand about that? Ron:

But if they feel it must be done, I’d prefer an alternative to increased CAFE standards or higher gasoline taxes. I’d like to see an income tax credit for auto manufacturers who choose to build such vehicles, and tax credits for those who choose to buy them. Such an approach would placate fears of a blatant money grab that taints an increased fuel tax, appeals to smaller government types, and gives auto makers a choice as to whether or not they want to build such vehicles. And it would be less regressive on lower income individuals, as the tax credits could be phased out for those with higher incomes. I'm not holding my breath, though.
