Screw the mileage, give me the hp! 
The government really ought to stay out of this, did they ever consider their gas mileage requirements would hurt american companys more because we make and sell a lot more large trucks and suvs?

I agree the government needs to stay out of this, and pretty much everything else it has its hands into. But who's to blame for that? We are. Instead of demanding high hp, stylish cars like challengers and mustangs, and bad ass 4x4s like Wranglers and Rams, the non-enthusiast sheep majority of people out there will lay over and buy the high mileage, 2 cyl weenie cars. Its sad, really. It'd be no big deal to shoot this legislation down, if the big 3 would just band together. They have the power and influence to lobby this sort of thing right out the window. All they have to do is say it cant be done and thats that. What're they gonna do, shut down 3 of the largest employers in the country and in the process screw themselves out of publicly owned vehicles like cop cars, and rescue vehicles? I dont think so.

The tree huggers have more power in the Democratic Congress right now than the auto makers.....and they evidently have more $$ to lobby with as well.

Well, frankly I was never too thrilled about some Chrysler Imperial aimed at the blue hair market. I never quite got on the 300C bandwagon either. To me, the 300C looked like a good design that someone tried to parallel park and them repeatedly rammed the front and back. And weren't classic Imperials big funky looking stodgy old grandpa-mobiles? Challenger Yes! Imperial...eh! If they want to bring back a sedan, then bring back the Road Runner. Preferrably a '69/'70 retro version.

The Imperial was pointless considering it's pretty much a luxury 300C or poor man's Bently. Just offer a luxury option for the 300 and Chrysler's set.

Imperials and Lincoln Towncars are dinosaurs of the automotive industry. They need to go........
