Yes it does, BUT the hitch is a number (i think its 20,000). If you sell less than that quantity in TOTAL company sales in the USA then you are exempt from CAFE.

Ferrari generally only makes about about that many cars for the world in total a year... so yea they qualify for the exemption... Porsche on the other hand is completely screwed and from the rumors I've heard is contemplating pulling out the US market COMPLETELY...
