Expect more compact SAVs, diesels, hybrids, lightweight materials, etc. But there will still be full sized pickups and SUVs and sports cars.
They do it with high fuel taxes that cut down on demand (and imports). That old "supply and demand" thing, that works every time..

Then folks can make their own decisions on what to buy and drive.

Not by government mandate. That is why this program is so screwed up.
