In a response to the upcoming federal proposal to implement a letter grading system for new vehicles fuel economy, NADA spokesman Bailey Wood told Automotive News that the National Automobile Dealers Association will oppose the proposed governmental plan. Opposing this proposal was clearly the right move by the NADA, because it was in the best interest of the Auto Dealers, but as a result of this stance that they have taken, they have cemented themselves in a position against the powerful environmental groups that have backed the proposal. And unfortunately for the NADA, this came right after they also recently butted heads with the environmental groups over whether stickers should be put on electric and plug-in hybrid automobiles detailing the pollution that is produced by charging those vehicles, which the NADA was against. The NADA has made all the right moves here, but they have now found themselves in a battle against the government and some powerful lobbyist groups. I’m not sure who will come out on top at the end of this, but it could get ugly. Which party is right here, and whose initiative will get passed? I’m not really sure at this juncture, so weigh in if you have any thoughts or anything to add.
