"NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The Bush administration announced new fuel economy rules Tuesday that require improved mileage for the sport/utility vehicles and other light trucks that have captured a majority of U.S. auto sales."

The "light-truck" category will be split into six individual categories, meaning station wagons with folding back seats will no longer be held to truck CAFE standards.

Not the cool third row that faces backwards; the second row that folds down to add carbo space (the Imprezza and PT Cruiser are classified as light trucks).

the pt cruizer should be reclassified as retarded and banned from the roads.

I think this is kind of something they should've done many months ago...

But hey, better late than never.
