Leanburn - More NOx vs higher MPG

It's well documented that the Leanburn of the Honda VX produces higher NOx. I'm having very very slight buyers' remorse thinking my recent VX acquisition may be making more acid rain, etc. BUT, I'm wondering..... if the big picture is taking in, and the improved MPG/NOx equation factored out, is the carbon footprint of this 50mpg car no larger than a car you would buy today that only gets 32mpg on the highway (like my '07 Cobalt)?
