New "Cool Cars" regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) could put an end to the Jeep Wrangler soft-top sales in the Golden State thanks to standards so stringent that the popular 4x4 won't be able to meet them. According to The Detroit News, CARB's latest controversial initiative requires automakers to build cars and trucks with windows which prevent 45% of the sun's energy from entering a vehicle by 2014, and 60% by 2016. To meet these provisions, vehicle manufacturers will have to utilize advanced window glazing containing microscopic specs of reflective metal oxide.

I'm with Art... Doesn't make sense. The basis of the bill looks like they want to prevent the interior of vehicles from heating up causing us to run the AC to cool them down, wasting that energy. Open top vehicles should be exempt from this as they don't collect any of the suns energy, at least not when the top is down.
But, I guess if they stick to their guns on it and 'plastic' windows don't get an exemption then we could be in for a long fight.

Hmm... Northern California will go to Fienstein, and Southern California will go to Mexico. I don't like either of those options... lol
