After reading the "strategy" of Chrysler killing the small cars, I wonder if I have been asleep like Rip Van Winkle.... What happened to the need of these manufacturers to build small cars in order to meet the CAFE standards by fleet averages?

As long as the low fuel economy manufacturers can keep buying emission credits from the overachievers, I guess the CAFE is a non issue? I don't think anything has changed regarding CAFE though, so I'm sure that small car fuel economy will still matter... I guess we will see.

From what I've read I believe that CAFE standards will become significantly harder to meet in the future but I get the impression that the industry believes the government will eventually cave in to public pressure - especially if fuel prices remain low. |
