You're right. But smart manufacturers like BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Lexus aren't taking the options away from their customers - they're simply making them pay for it. Right now, BMW (for example) is paying the CAFE fines on their own. If they continue to increase, they'll pass them on to the customer - who will GLADLY pay the fine to have the vehicle they want.
I wish Cadillac would let me pay for the vehicle I want...
