California tells Big Auto: Sue us, we’ll sue you

Months after a consortium of American and foreign automakers sued the state of California over its new automotive carbon dioxide emissions reduction regulations, claiming it was an attempt to usurp EPA-only powers to regulate gas mileag Californis has struck back. The state, in light of its new law requiring a 25 percent reduction of in-state CO2 production, is suing six automakers over global-warming damages to the state’s environment.

GM, Ford, the Chrysler arm of DaimlerChrysler, and the North American production units of Toyota, Nissan and Honda were named in the suit.
