US manufacturers can’t make small cars profitably with their labor costs, but are required to sell them because of CAFE. They are only going to make enough to reduce their CAFE costs, no more.

Right.
So I am sick and tired of the media repeating that "Americans don't want to buy small cars" when the fact is that "American car manufacturers don't want to sell small cars."
When I go to a "car" dealer it seems the cars are all sold out but they have a long line of SUVs on deep discounts.
My dad would go to American car dealerships in the 1970s and they would refuse to sell him a small car. Every time I've been in an American car dealership since it has been the same story except for a small window after 2008 when you might find a small car.
Last time I went to a Honda dealership the Fits were all sold out because the factory washed out but they had plenty of CR-Vs made in the same factory.
