There's no reason for that to happen. IF...a huge "IF"...the gov't wanted to dictate specific vehicles, they'd have to have a personal vendetta against cars like the Camaro SS and the Corvette, because they get similar mileage as most large sedans and small SUVs, as well as the fact that they make up a minute percentage of all vehicles sold in the US.

Facts don't matter in the least bit with government. The liberal elite only cares about appearances. Why do you think the greenies love the Lexus LS and RX hybrids? They get crappy gas mileage, but they make a show of being "green". The Camaro has the image in some people's minds of being dirty or irresponsible. It doesn't matter what the facts are, if the people with political influence don't like something on biased perceptions, they'll shut it down.
