Kansas City Working on Hybrid Car Tax Credit

Delegates in Kansas City, Missouri are working on a state tax credit for hybrid cars, but with a catch. Only hybrid cars manufactured in the US will be eligible for the credit.

Which means mild hybrids like the Malibu would be eligible, but not the Toyota Prius. The Toyota Camry would be eligible, as would the Ford Escape Hybrid, but not the Civic Hybrid.

The credit is being set at 10 percent of the value of the car, up to $2,000. The tax credit is being set for the next six years.

The stimulation package seems a little hypocritical if it's going to exclude the top selling and top mpg Prius.
