The size of vehicles in the U.S. car fleet could start to shrink thanks to the new CAFE standards and take on more of a European look. But will Americans embrace smaller vehicles? That’s why on this edition of Autoline EXTRA, John McElroy talks with the chief designers from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Mazda and asks them how their jobs will be affected by the new fuel economy law. Joining John in the discussion are Kevin Hunter, President, Calty Design Research, Franz von Holzhausen, Director of Design, Mazda North America, Dave Marek, Chief Designer, Advanced Design Studio, Honda R&D Americas, and Joel Piaskowski, Chief Designer, Hyundai Design and Technical Center.
