The Auto Alliance, the lobbyist group representing most major automakers, has launched a deceptive new ad campaign in Washington DC claiming that autos manufactured today are virtually emission-free.

Not only are today's passenger vehicles emitting more global warming pollution than 20 years ago, but some vehicles made in 2005 will have forty times the smog-forming emissions of a Ford Escape Hybrid or Toyota Prius.

Using factual omissions to hide polluting emissions is unacceptable.

Please contact the Federal Trade Commission and ask that they immediately open a false advertising investigation on the Alliance. To see the deceptive ad, click here
