For luxurious cars, with the current volatility in oil prices, going for smaller cars is not only smart, but also trendy. And because fashion is of high importance with the upper classes, the little green cars with luxury trimmings become quite plausible. Hilton Hotel Manchester

"Hyundai already exceeds 2016 CAFE requirements without even selling a single hybrid - their March CAFE was 35.8 MPG (2016 CAFE requirements is 35.5)"

@Yegor: Hi. I think the often quoted 35.5 mpg for 2016 may not be reflecting the whole picture.
According to Car and Driver:
"The average fuel economy for cars must improve from the current 27.5 mpg, ... to 37.8 mpg by 2016. The truck standard has to rise from 23.5 mpg to 28.8."

Furthermore, the actual CAFE is a little bit more complicated as it is adjusted by the 'footprint' of the vehicles. I think the current lineup from Hyundai is weighted towards cars and small crossovers, so whether their CAFE of March meets the 2016 CAFE requirement is not as clear as you stated.

Re: Fit hybrid Japan sales

Hard to tell how many Fit hybrids were sold in Japan last month, but, last year, it was reported that Honda plans for hybrids to account for about 23 percent of its Japanese sales in fiscal year 2011 (probably means Apr 2011-Mar 2012).
