As part of
Canada's New Government's plan to protect the environment, the ecoAUTO Rebate Program encourages Canadians to buy or lease fuel-efficient vehicles.
How? It offers rebates from $1000 to $2000, to people who buy or enter a long-term lease (12 months or more) for a fuel-efficient vehicle, as of March 20, 2007.
The two-year ecoAUTO Rebate Program offers performance-based rebates on new light duty vehicles.
What vehicles get rebates?
The list of eligible vehicles is established by Transport Canada and includes:
New cars with a combined fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100km or less;
New sport utility vehicles and other light duty vehicles with a combined fuel consumption of 8.3 L/100km or less; and new flexible-fuel vehicles with a combined E85 fuel consumption rating of 13.0 L/100km or less.
A number of Canadian provinces also offer incentive programs on advanced technology and fuel-efficient vehicles, and drivers could benefit from both programs.
For whatever reason there are no Smart cars listed for 2007?
