Default No tax credit for 2010 450h hybrid

I was checking this out and did not see this model in the govt list. Compared to some of the other cars on this list I thought it was strange.

each brand only gets a certain amount of tax credit. Toyota used theirs long ago with the 2nd generation prius taking off in sales. MB is just releasing their first hybrids with the S and ML class so even though they arent fuel efficient, they still get some money from the govt.

I think it took only 18 months for the funds to dry up for Toyota. I can't complain though, I did get the state tax rebate last year, sort of. I missed the deadline by a few days but the dealer took it off the price
