New York “Gas Guzzlers”: Legislation has been reintroduced to establish a progressive purchase surcharge for some new motor vehicles based on state calculations of carbon emissions. Depending on the vehicle purchased, this surcharge could require owners to pay up to $2,500 more for the vehicle. Funds collected under the program would be used in part to fund discounts for hybrids and electric cars.

So besides contacting your politicians who are trying to save you from yourself, you might want to get the car your dreaming of now before you're helping fund someone else's hybrid purchase. I guess it's sort of like "spreading the weath around".

Where did you see that press release? Is that state or federal?

I joined SEMA and it was an e-mail alert. It's for the State of New York, so all New Yorkers take note!

Here's the link to SEMA. I think it's important for everyone in the car hobby to join in order to help preserve our automotive hobbies.
