JUST A RUMOR -- FOR NOW. Black is the second most popular vehicle color choice among consumers, and obviously the first among chauffeured transportation operators. And while
this report dispels any recent rumors, it's not far-fetched to consider that global warming do-gooders might overreach and actually try this stunt. If they can "talk" about remotely controlling household thermostats and "de-carbonizing" much of the electricity grid, then they surely could consider a ban on black vehicles. In this case, going green and keeping the types of vehicles customers prefer must remain a black-and-white issue. -- M.R.
