This is fucked. But aren't "passenger vehicles" actually quite rare? I think most (environmental and safety) regulation is on passenger vehicles, which is why auto manufacturers try and sell so many trucks and SUVs since they don't count as "passenger vehicles". I could be wrong and this mandate is going to target all consumer vehicles.

Fuck all cars and our American car brained culture. But also fuck this legislation.
