There's no force involved, just an incentive. A similar plan was invoked in Germany and saw a 40% increases in sales. You can argue that the Kei Car policy in Japan is also an incentive program because it promotes tiny 600 CC cars. I *think* it complements the other laws in Japan that discourage large car ownership.
I don't mind this for "economic" reasons. You can argue that it is greenwashing, but under today's economic conditions, it's ok with me.
