California filed suit against the EPA over its proposal to roll back emissions and fuel economy standards. Tis the season—or at least the latest of them—for new hybrids hitting the roads.

When it comes to hybrids and Toyota, one shape typically comes to mind. Hint: It doesn’t have a trunk. The 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid—like the Camry Hybrid that it’s loosely based on—hides in plain sight. It’s a full-size, four-door sedan that seamlessly blends into the rest of the Avalon lineup.

Jay Leno, famous car collector as well as TV host has a prediction for what may come next: the Toyota Prius. Wait, don't car collectors love flashy muscle cars? And sports cars? Leno argues in a Business Insider... 
Subaru buyers care about the environment. They buy Subarus to get outdoors, and to spend time hiking, biking, skiing, and going to the beach. At least they dream of having time to do those things. The fuel economy and emissions of their cars are a sensitive issue for these buyers, so the company could be particularly hard-hit following an...
