    My understanding of the current situation is that EPA Guidelines give a lot of wiggle room / outright don’t control vehicles above a certain size. Therefore manufacturers are reducing the vehicles that actually get regulated by those guidelines in favor of monster trucks for grocery getters.

      Ah, right, that’s correct there are regulations in place for “passenger cars.”
