But I suppose there's a precedent.Honestly, it seems kind of ridiculous to launch a car in December/January while you're waiting for the outcome of an application you've made that would hurt everyone that rushed out to buy your new vehicle just a few weeks later.Totally understand that they can't predict when the government will respond on their EEV application but I don't believe for a second that this couldn't have been handled better. If they'd at least mentioned to me that this was a possibility I wouldn't be so sore about this.It's not like they applied for it on a whim- it had been in the pipeline.Pretty unnecessary too, anyone that was willing to pull the trigger on a purchase in January would be willing to pull the trigger in February. Your year-end sales would be approximately the same and you'd have a fair bit of good will with consumers. I guess they were more worried about January sales figures and in the end decided that the number of people that rushed to buy cars in January would be a relatively small group that could be easily ignored.Oh, well, that's life I guess.</blockquote>
