My biggest problem with the H2 is that the government was giving out subsidies to people to buy one. That's seriously messed up. The government should have no business giving out subsidies, or else it should give out subsidies that promote a type of behaviour that is good for the country. Hybrids should get subsidies. SUVs should not.
Originally it was written into law to try and stimulate business. The reasoning was that a compoany would buy a cube van or some such vehicle, but the wording was so broad that it allowed the SUV owners to get the same tax cut. It would be nice if they would amend that to be more specific about the intent.
