...pressed for its continuation. "The government's program is doing what it is designed to do - spur consumers to trade in older gas guzzlers for new, fuel-efficient vehicles," said Mark LaNeve, GM vice president for sales. The Department of Transportation confirmed the fuel-efficiency gains on Monday, Aug. 3, noting that of the 120,000 rebate applications processed so far, the cars purchased have been far more fuel-efficient than the minimum requirements to qualify for the highest rebates.

During an Aug. 2 unveiling at the company's new headquarters in Yokohama, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn drove the Leaf, a four-door hatchback, onto the main stage with Japan's former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in the passenger seat and the mayor of Yokohama and the governor of Kanagawa prefecture sitting in the back. The point was loud and clear: Nissan, which is investing heavily not just in electric-car development but also in infrastructure like charging stations, has politicians on board...
