"We are not forcing everyone into small cars. Americans can still chose vehicles that meet most of their needs. Liar. If you insist on 54.5 mpg then the only way to achieve it is by forcing people into Paper maché klown karz.

What a steaming pantload that is. Why would anyone trust these people? Just like with health insurance, if the government forces the insurance companies to stop selling "non compliant" products, you have zero choice but to buy what government tells you to buy. The car makers will have to stop making products people want and force everybody into products the government wants you to buy. Freedom be damned.

The EPA is full of mentally ill LIB asshats who are unrestrained. Close the EPA!

All of the EPA employees should be in Colorado manning a bucket brigade to stop their release of mine water to the river.

They will have to pry away my F-150 from my cold, dead hands.

Why not shoot for 99 mpg? /sI agree. This is like the minimum wage. If $15/hour is good, $100/hour is better.
Let's just go for 1000 MPG. Think of the fuel cost savings and reduced CO2!!!!!!

My feeling exactly. An old-style fullsize station wagon would fill the needs of many people who opt for a fullsize SUV or pickup and would get better mileage, would be safer, and would use less material to produce.
The rise of the SUV is essentially a creation of the EPA's silly rules.

I have a 2014. No aluminum for me. I never buy the first of a model year.
To: thackney
I think what folks miss here is that if the company does not meet the 54.5 MPG target, then the company pays a fine to the government for each vehicle sold.
It’s a tax.
Like the F’d up government needs more of our money...
