Maybe. Maybe not.
If so, Americans who desire the benefits of full-size, safe, powerful vehicles, will just have to buy large, full-cab pick-ups.
I am one American who insists on a large, serviceable vehicle capable of getting there. When it rains, our county roads are 6 miles of 4 wheel drive work to get to pavement. Currently we have pickups, one of which is a 4 door Ford 1 Ton diesel 4x4. I am seeing the replacement vehicle on the road now, one that will circumvent the stupid CAFE standards; Fort F450 and F550 4 door outfits. Bigger than my 1 Ton truck. Hooah!!!!!
