Toyota
spokeswoman Martha Voss told
the San
Francisco Chronicle that hybrid
tax credits do not seem to
be on the radar screen of
Congress, at least not in the
near term. "There was
talk of some people on the
House and Senate side wanting
to introduce bills" that
would extend the hybrid tax
credit for at least another
year, Voss stated. "Since
Congress changed hands,
they're taking care of other
business right now. They have
a lot to do before they come
back next year. We don't have
any signals that there is
something urgently
pending," Voss says.
I wonder whether if it was GM
or Ford that was running out
of tax credits for their hybrid
cars if Congress would
take the matter more
seriously? For some reason I'm
sure Congress doesn't mind
slowing down Toyota's
foreign-oil dependency
fighting success.
