Out of curiosity - What exactly are those EU rules your refering to? Fleet fuel economy standards, size, weight, price? In the US the gov has imposed fleet wide avg fuel economy stds, Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) that pushes the mfg's to produce small cars with better gas milage to balance out the production of larger less efficient full size pick em up trucks, full size luxury cars, etc.
