Consumer Federation of America calls for 60 mpg CAFE standard by 2025

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Etc. , Government/Legal , Technology Now that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Environmental Protection Agency have established fleet fuel economy standards of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 , the government agencies are hard at work on the next phase of increases that will stretch out to 2020 and beyond. The 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act mandated 40 mpg by 2020 as a minimum, but the standards could actually be set higher. That’s exactly what the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) want.

Rumormill: Toyota working on FT-86 sedan?

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Sedan , Performance , Japan , Toyota , Rumormill That’s what the crew at Car Guide would have us all believe. According to the website, Toyota is looking to hedge its bets by producing a second model on the same platform as the upcoming FT-86 . As the theory goes, If the two-door doesn’t find the kind of favor the company is hoping for, it will at least have a four-door version to pick up a few sales. The site points to a shadowy Toyota executive as the source of the information, and it’s even worked up a rendering to show the world exactly what the sports sedan could look like.
