Tupps11:

I don’t like this turbo engine talk. These cars are not selling in quantities like Honda and Toyota. They should remain animalistic, noisy, and polluting…. Damn Shame. Hope Ferrari doesn’t disappoint.

Wonder if we'll ever return to the "noisy & polluting"/"screaming & high revving"  Ferrari's ever. I mean a Turbo isn't going to sound anything like the N/A V8 in the current F430.  The F430 could be the car to keep. We'll probably look back 10 years from now & reminisce about todays Ferrari's motors.

 Obama Poised To Reverse Bush Policy

 Nov. 9, 2008

"While Obama said at a news conference last week that his top priority would be to stimulate the economy and create jobs, his advisers say that focus will not delay key shifts in social and regulatory policies, including some - such as the embrace of new environmental safeguards - that Obama has said will have long-term, beneficial impacts on the economy. 

The president-elect has said, for example, that he intends to quickly reverse the Bush administration's decision last December to deny California the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles

California had sought permission from the Environmental Protection Agency to require that greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles be cut by 30 percent between 2009 and 2016, effectively mandating that cars achieve a fuel economy standard of at least 36 miles per gallon within eight years. Seventeen other states had promised to adopt California's rules, representing in total 45 percent of the nation's automobile market 

Before the election, Obama told others that he favors declaring that carbon dioxide emissions are endangering human welfare, following an EPA task force recommendation last December that Bush and his aides shunned in order to protect the utility and auto industries

Robert Sussman, who was the EPA's deputy administrator during the Clinton administration and is now overseeing EPA transition planning for Obama, wrote a paper last spring strongly recommending such a finding. Others in the campaign have depicted it as an issue on which Obama is keen to show that politics must not interfere with scientific advice."
