I hadn't read this article before. But it really summarized how the CAFE requirements will determine what we can and can't have. Now the automakers are stuck in the middle. Meet the customer demand for HiPo V8s and at the same time withstand all the government pressure. I know I just got done ranting about gas prices. So CAFE should be a good thing? No. It's not fair to the automakers. The government just shifted the responsibility from getting off foreign oil or moving to alternative fuels by forcing automaker to pick up the slack. It's too aggressive and it's not fair. I do believe that we will see 30+ mpg performance v8 someday but give them a fighting chance. Maybe I will have to recant some of my complaints that GM is using CAFE as an excuse... hmmmm.
