Auto Dealer's Response to Release of New Federal Vehicle Standards for Fuel Economy and Global Warming Emissions

Calls it a 'Victory for Consumers'

PORTLAND, Maine, April 1 -- Adam Lee, President of Lee Auto Malls, which consists of 20 dealerships selling domestic and foreign cars, issued this statement:

"Today is a victory for American consumers and the auto industry. Every day customers walk into my stores asking for the same thing -- cars that go farther on a dollar. For the most part that was not an American car. Now domestic cars will become more competitive. But it cannot stop here. To survive, all automakers must drive fuel economy higher and higher. My customers are already asking, when will we see 50 miles per gallon?"
