I'm sure the car companies know more about how it will affect them than I do, so I believe what they say and defer to that.

When the panel discussion I saw said the 100K cap is not an issue for the UK since they don't sell much more than that here anyway, I extrapolated that to mean it wouldn't change the status quo for the US side either, but that was just my own speculation.

I'm just saying that if US auto sales drop to 14m units from 17m units, 100k is a larger market share (fraction) of that.

Fair enough. Though I expect Mangolini will give the auto industry more breaks once they kowtow to him enough. That's what it's all about, getting people to pay up or do other "favors" for him in return for him reducing the amount of pain he's inflicting on them -- "nice business you have there, be a shame if anything happened to it".
