With CAFE V-8 Sedans are Dead, Expect for those the a normal person can't afford (CTS-V Sedan). And V-6 Sedans are on the endanger list.

Before someone says it, I have not forgotten the New Charger. Dodge can get away with it because they Don't have any to match the:
CTS-V Coupe
CTS-V Sedan
Corvette ZR1
Corvette Z06 (The Viper is.......What is the current status?)
Camaro ZL1

With CAFE you will only be able to get V-8. If it fits One or More of the Following:
Impractical for most buyers with a family (Coupe 2+2)
Very Impractical (2 Seater Coupe)
Starting price of $50,000+
Limited Production

Ford already has an Ad about their Direct Injected V-6 with ECO Boost that provides V-8 Power in the F-150.
