Public health groups and automakers cheered the new rules

Well this is counter-intuitive. Not the "public health groups", i.e. enviro-nazis... but the automakers.

Surely they know this will mean they'll have to increase the cost of their product, which means fewer people will buy their shiny new more expensive cars and buy older, used vehicles instead.

Seems to me a loss for automakers...
