http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/the...ng-conspiracy/ It's not a legal issue but an ethical one - on the part of the manufacturers. It's all about pushing folks to buy larger, more expensive vehicles that they have a higher profit margin on. It's an easy sell in a country that believes you need 200hp to get groceries, or 300hp to bring the kids home from soccer practice.
