Cafe worked so well when they did it before. Look at all the SUV’s it placed on the road.
I suppose this time we will all be driving tractor-trailers.
We need to stop passing stupid laws and start firing stupid lawmakers.
They moved the limit up to 10,000 pounds GVW, so you are going to have to buy the big trucks and reduce the spring rates. Other than that, business as usual.
I agree with the fire the bozos part ... it really is getting tiring, the Democrats have only been working at screwing up the country for a few months.
No word on where the technology is going to come from to get cars to these ridiculous MPG figures. Maybe Sen Botoxer has something she hasn’t told us. The only way to achieve this MPG range is to build flat little cars, which now consume about 10,000 people a year. Anything less than 4,000 pounds GVW is headed into death trap category.
Jill Claybrook gave us CAFE which killed the full framed V8 Station Wagon and gave birth to the Mini Van. It was wimpy and olks found the Jeep Waggoner and that let to even more SUV's/
The problem has always been CAFE. The big 3 want a version that relies on category types, get they get the blanket umbrella again.
I fear the 4 door king cab work truck that carries 6 and pulls the Bobcat is dead. You think things are bad here in Michigan now, they have really screwed the pooch with this one....
I still maintain this will work out with lots of unintended consequences, if only due to the myriad of safety features inherent to a modern car. If it were simply a matter of getting to point B from point A, say a few miles everyday, then a golf cart would be fairly perfect. Except, after the mandated lights, flashers, signals, bumpers, mirrors (Objects are closer in mirror than they appear) speedometer, exotic batteries made of unobtanium, etc. etc.. Locally we had some public service radio announcements noting that a new Honda of some kind was not street-legal and could not be registered, apparently that has become an issue somewhere.
