The muscle cars will become rarer and less afforable. They won't go away completely, but it will be hard for any automaker to sell 10's of thousands of V8 powered cars and still meet fuel economy standards. So they will jack up the price to discurage buyers and to cover potential penalties. The biggeset impact that CAFE will have is that make all cars less affordable, if the government wanted the people to use less gas it would help build better mass transit and offer more incentives to go electric/hydrogen/bio fuel.
