I guess all that pollution junk the government ‘forced’ on them were actually high profit items?

They don’t want to have to deal with Cali state regs that differ from the rest of the US.

Tough boogers.

Maybe this deregulation will open up the auto market to smaller regional producers.

That’s what the Big 5 don’t want.

Do they believe they have to change their standards to the proposed new 'lower' standards?

Can't they just continue doing what they're doing with the current standards they're now using?

“Hey! We PAID for those regulations to keep competition down so we’d make more profit!”

I don’t see the problem. Who is stopping them from making cars that EXCEED the standard? If there is more profit in doing that, they should be eager to do so.

But they won’t. Which is why this NYT article is fake news.

The only thing I can imagine this is about is that they are worried that they won’t be able to sell as many of their pathetic electric cars if the gas cars can meet the standards.

Without the rainbows and unicorns Obama standard it's hard for even corrupt Congress Critters to justify huge subsidies on electric vehicles.

Screw em', lower the standard and make cars for California only sales in California if they have to. Corporations in love with regulations for the sake of their ease of distribution and possible lawsuits from the State of California can fight it out in court and stop selling vehicles in California if they have to. It's flat out stupid for the rest of the country to be held hostage to California State laws and regulations, PERIOD.

Everyone in California can ride a motorcycle as is fitting for the third world chithole that State is working so hard to become.

So who in the hell is telling these CEO’s that they have to follow looser restrictions? Something weird about this article.

This is right out of Atlas Shrugged. The complicit businesses who adapt to the demands of oppressive government and expect thus to gain advantage by selling out— are now found to be defending the corruption that they decided to accommodate.

pure BS!!! deregulation simply means they don't have to be as stringent, nothing forcing them to change their production methods, they can still be as green as they want to be
