Correct, but no economy cars.
And the biggest blunder of all is that Detroit is taking NO advantage of the performance increase available with FLEXfuel.
Imagine a FLEXfuel ZR1, or CTC-V, or SC Mustang Cobra, or Turbo Solstice/Sky/Cobalt SS, or SHO/Flex, that really took full advantage of E85.

While flipping through channels I happened upon a lecture about switchgrass as a viable alternative to corn as a energy source, from what the lecturer was saying, if they incorporated legumes into the field the yield was much higher.
The result was that land that was previously unused now served a purpose, no release of carbon through the cultivation of dirt, reduced pestisides, and negilgible use of fuel in order to maintain the crops. The resulting energy-to-carbon emmsion yield is much higher than what corn requires.
It looks promising, but the corn producers have a large stake in the push for this fuel, so it'll be interesting to see if it gets any widescale acceptance.
I wish I could find the video, but here's a link that describes similar:

/yes I'm a dork for watching a college lecture on TV voluntarily.
