All 2007 TCHs not AT-PVEZ? See EPA site

http://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/E-T...yHybrid-07.htm

This has TWO versions of the 2007 TCH listed - one which scores an 8 on the "Air Pollution" score and the other scores a 9.5.

What gives? I thought all the TCHs were equally clean vehicles.....

Hmmm, so far all of the TCH I have seen for sale here have 50 state emissions, so they would probably be in the higher category.

I was told by a few dealers that all TCH's coming into the county from Japan would have the "FE" option which is 50 state emissions (and the AT-PZEV rating). Maybe the second classification is for when they start building them in the US and start making cars without the FE option for non CA emission states.
