I think our government need to get off they're ass and bring these cars to the states, parts of the Uk has stricter emission laws than California so there is no reason they couldn't come over here besides the fact that our Govt wants us to waste money on fuel.

correction:::: Europe thinks C02 is cool to polute, USA does not. Thats the difference in our emissions. What would be smart is to put the Escape Hybrid motor into a Focus.

A U.S. spec Escape Hybrid dumps 6.3 tons of Co2 emissions annualy at 15k miles a year
London charges you a congestion charge for excess Co2 emissions for which the diesel is exempt due to the mpg and reduced Co2

Water vapor is a bigger greenhouse gas than co2, and it's ultimately speculation anyway. US emissions are bs
We have to watch PPM and CO2 here in the US. Thats how they look at it
