Are the overseas fuel efficient vehicles rated under the old or new standards?

Here is the key:

"We have to face the unpleasant facts here: America is needlessly losing the race to develop the best fuel-efficient technology and then deliver it to the American consumer," Solo said. "U.S. consumers say they are willing to buy these cars, so the big U.S. automakers are actually going backwards at a time when it's possible to make cars that are more fuel efficient."

The fact is, US consumers will always buy a big fat SUV if they can afford the gas.
