The National Automobile Dealers Association announced that they are in opposition to the new proposed fuel labels that are being suggested by EPA and other government officials. The labels would be required to be put on all vehicles sold at Toyota Dealer Los Angeles, and dealerships are worried that the labels would end up hurting sales for some models. Industry experts and others have also opposed the new labels which they believe to be unfair in their comparison. The new labels might affect sales of vehicles sold at dealerships such as Honda Dealer Los Angeles and others.
The labels would feature a grade of A+ to D- that would be based on the vehicle's fuel economy and emissions and nothing more. Dealerships feel that the label leaves out too many other features that can be considered useful by consumers. Ford Dealer Pittsburgh sells several vehicle models that are excellent in their vehicle fuel efficiencies, however there are always going to be some larger models such as pickups and SUVs that are not as fuel efficient as sedans or subcompacts.
Some dealers that offer fewer subcompact or hybrid models may also be hurt by the new fuel labels. The Obama Administration is behind the new label proposal as well and the new proposal was unveiled on Monday. The new vehicle label also has the backing of a number of environmental protection groups.
NADA released a statement saying this, “NADA opposes changes that would confuse the buying public, make vehicle purchasing decisions more difficult or treat certain automakers or fuel types unfairly ”
The purpose of the vehicle stickers is to help consumers make decisions about which vehicles are better for the environment. Others have criticized the vehicle labels because of the use of a "grade" system which may seem to be somewhat outdated and myopic in its focus. The label system would leave out important information on safety and other features that may be just as important for consumers that are shopping for new vehicle models.
