diver,
there is some good information in your post.. and I agree with a federal push to move to more efficient vehicles, because the technology is available. I don't think we are going to see the underpowered vehicle generation many people are afraid of come 2016. Most people buy a car based on a peak hp number and rarely if ever even push the pedal far enough to see more than 30% of it. I think many of the "normal" vehicles will be made more efficient to make the manufacturers fleet average compliant while still catering to the enthusiast crowd. Obviously, there will be some casualties along the way in the small vehicle class but does that mean there will be an incentive for manufacturers to push the larger more powerful vehicles as they are less susceptible to the new regulations?
