This is all about meeting CAFE mileage goals. Each mfg has to sell a certain number of high mileage vehicles in order to offset their low mileage performance cars and still meet the mandated average mpg for the fleet. Same thing is happening at BMW with their upcoming 4-cyl engines. Aston Martin is going so far as to source an iQ and rebadge it.
