Plenty of good reasons for increased mileage requirements event if you don't believe in climate change, less pollution, more energy independence.

Every industry is subject to regulation, do you believe removing lead from the air should have been a free market decision.
Oh I would much rather have kept the higher fed standards.

I just think this action is WAY more asinine than cancelling those even was.

This is very disjointed, the car manufacturers don't want two different standards and that is why they are attempting to compromise, This DOJ lawsuit is silly, Trump should show some leadership and come up with a solution rather than making a bad situation worse. Companies like stability, this is problematic.

I blame California for trying to dictate to a manufacturer what to build that could impact people in other states.

Me too and leftist regulation in general. Thanks to regulations and women making most car buying decisions, and even help design more like screw up vehicles, and weeny millennial males, most vehicles have become overpriced, poor drivability, less reliable, uncool soccer mom utility vehicles.. Leftist take the fun out of everything.

Auto manufacturers just wanted to deal with adults. Children currently run the federal government.

Um - you know that all cars have been built to CARB standards for well over a decade now.......it makes no sense for auto makers to manufacture to different standards so they use CARB standards.

It makes no sense to have CARB standards anymore. California shouldn't get to dictate something nationally that falls under the commerce clause. CARB was probably unconstitutional. Leftist claim everything is under the commerce clause, except something like emission standards which is one case of something that should be. Requiring me to buy a CARB standard vehicle violates my civil rights.
