Also, why is CARB still around? Why should an entire industry be held hostage by 1/50th of the states? It's a silly waste that an industry might make a 49 state version of a vehicle, and then a CA version. Sometimes a vehicle is withheld from production in the States because it won't pass CARB regs.
