No argument on that here Mike but it's still a stalling tactic and the new demand is not slowing.... We need culture changes etc like Malcom was mentioning and even some of those will produce some severe social problems themselves... We need alternative fuels and a culture change in NA to be sure...

Edit I wanna move to the country .... Green Acres is the place for me... Farm livin' is the life for me... ;o)

The cars don't need to be small, just efficent. 2004 Buick Regal gets 29 mpg highway, and it's not a small car.

1985 regal 3.8 L 24 mpg
1998 regal 3.8 L 27 mpg
2004 regal 3.8 L 29 mpg

Computer control, aerodynamics, overdrive transmissions, and lots of engineering development work.

I thought the only time tested way to reduce demand was to increase price.
Market forces will decide it!
These incentives/subsidies just play to interest groups, but I guess that is the name of the game with democracy.
