The tax on the consumer end is not the issue. The issue is impact on CAFE. Camaro not meeting internal CAFE targets (actually referred to as Platform Average Fuel Economy or PAFE) will get Camaro cancelled faster than low sales, even if it is making money. Dodge seems to be less concerned about that, but they are also in the worst shape, fuel economy-wise, as a company. They have had to buy emissions credits from Tesla to keep from paying huge fines for not meeting CAFE.
