we win when given the choice to make our own decisions, instead of a government forcing that choice upon us. this will also lower vehicle prices across the board by a substantial amount. it really is a win win situation for everybody who is not a big government loving climate troon.

it wont at all. mpgs and safety ratings are sort of a "no going back" thing. even if all regulations went out the window tomorrow, people are accustomed to getting 40mpg in their hybrids and 5 star crash ratings with 27 airbags. if dodge comes out with the "2026 shitbox deathtrap" that gets 22mpg from a na v6 and one airbag in the steering wheel, even if it costs 20k new, no ones going to buy it. this is how it always happens. there were no regulations that forced volvo to make their cars safer, but they did and everyone followed suit. there were no regulations that forced toyota to make the prius, but they did and now everything is a hybrid.

This picture of the market neglects to consider the advantage of segmentation. There is always some small segment of the population that wants to pay less to get less safety and MPG and previously you weren't allowed to sell to them and now you are.

Another thing to consider is that car companies don't meet CAFE standards by making the cars more efficient, they do it by selling more SUVs and trucks. This is the regulation that determines how efficient the car has to be by the area of its wheelbase, and the standards for SUVs are so low that they're much easier to meet than the standards for cars. Now that the regulation is lifted they can start making small cars again and ironically the MPG of the average vehicle will probably improve.

Did the government force Ford to make the F150 in 1978? Was that the reason it was the best selling vehicle every single year for 47 years straight (except 2009). Did the government force Toyota to make the Rav4 in 1996, which is now the current best selling vehicle?

As always, the biggest issue with making cheap new cars is that used cars exist. A new 80k car is exclusively competing with other new 70-90k cars. A new 20k car is competing with every used 30-40k car.

this is a HUGE thing, actually

back in the '00s, there were REALLY good reasons to go with a new car, even a cheap one, instead of an equal price older car.
you got a car that was faster, quieter, more economical, more comfortable, and safer.

this is not the case anymore. a 2025 vehicle is not that much better than the same model from '05. sure, its probably a bit larger and a bit faster, but its not like the older model will have trouble keeping up with traffic, or won't have airbags, or lack A/C or ABS or anything showstopping like that.

and this is likely why we don't really get anything sub 30k anymore. the amount of used options below that range is absurdly large and there's no good reason to not consider them.

Said SUVs and Trucks will be able to be made smaller now though because the key factor in CAFE classification is vehicle footprint (Wheelbase X track). It is a market that definitely still exists but has not been allowed to.
It is the exact reason the old ranger/S10 sized trucks were killed off, too small a footprint. The last Ranger had a footprint basically the size of a current Camry. Even with a shitty 1.5 and hybrid system you wouldnt hit the CAFE mandated 40 mpg in a truck that size.
