The hunt for tax proceeds continues. This dumb standard is unlikely to ever be done away with, because it is essentially an invisible tax on the purchasers of new vehicles. People just see the price tag and blame the mfr.
Exactly! Many people don't know how it works on the back end and just blame the manufacturer when the cost of their next vehicles goes up. They don't know that mandates like CAFE, air bags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, back up camera's, and so on have all increased the costs of these vehicles exponentially. If you think the price of trucks are too high then don't just point the finger at the manufacturer, point it at the government too. And if haven't done anything about it, point at yourself as well.
