It's pretty obvious that what is going on is that these ludicrous CAFE standards are meant to "nudge" us all into craptastic econoboxes and mass transit. The insidious idea is essentially to offer toy CUVs that won't hurt the average fuel economy on one hand and then sell humongous SUVs that carry a huge pricetag so that only a small number would sell.

By failing to offer anything in between, they force everyone to choose between "Too Much" or "Too Little".

This pushes the majority of buyers artificailly out of a huge market just to satisfy some bean counter that doesn't even own a car.
