And people with higher incomes will just continue to buy "commercial" trucks like they do now and bypass this whole thing. Every time they ban cars, and not all vehicles, the car makers reclassify whatever they are making to fit that definition.
Small SUVs/CUVs and even some station wagons are considered "light trucks" to evade EPA and safety requirements. There's a reason Ford and others doesn't make sedans anymore. It's not just because people all want CUVs, it's because CUVs were cheaper as they didn't have to meet all the same requirements. So they marketed the shit out of their CUVs because they had higher profit margins.
If they don't ban commercial trucks too, I see Ford, GM and RAM releasing more and more 'commercial' trucks, and people buying them as family haulers.
