Ulev Ii

I meant to mention this a while back. Upon telling my girlfriend all about the new car I bought, the thing that impressed her the most is the fact that the TL is a ULEV II car.

Yeah, so as I'm gunning it down the highway, I can tell my girlfriend I'm helping the environment. :diablotin

Maybe 4-cylinder Accord is the better fit for ppl if talking about EPA stuff.

It's SULEV.


Perhaps, Prius is better.

Now if only the TL had a hybrid engine.....

I'm impressed that the emissions on this very powerful car are better than on my 3-yaer-old I4 Accord (It's only a LEV).

A clean hybrid or compact car is not exactly an amazing feat. A 270hp luxury car that is ULEVII is impressive. I was glad to see that Acura made that one of their goals for this car. It is a selling point in California. You can put the hammer away now...

No, it's an east-coast, west-coast thing. Even conservatives out here have a streak of environmentalism in them. Buyers here understand ULEVII is good and will take note of it. I can guarantee that ULEVII will be a decision point for some buyers here. It wasn't for me, but I was glad to see ULEVII.

I grew up on the east coast, so I can understand the "WTF?" response. Just remember, we're a bunch of crack-pots out here!
