I do hope America can adopt the perception of owning smaller cars. I know there is a stigma for NOT owning a V8 or V6. Come to Europe. You get respect for owning a 1.8l 4 cylinder engine, and even more if it's a diesel!!

Over all, things are going towards being more fuel efficient... but I'd California is definetly not respresentive of the rest of the country. Atleast where I am in the south east, people are still happy driving around in SUVs and trucks... though not so much the deisel pick ups because deisel is still around $3.00/gallon.
