There are actually only two things we know for sure --

1. Unless they tax us into oblivion (which has been seriously proposed), our current Zs are great and will remain great. How many of us would still drive them with a punitive tax on fuel (up to $4 additional dollars of tax per gallon has been proposed by congressional Democrats)?

2. We will certainly be able to read about the 2016 generation of Zs in the press. Europe and Asia won't be following our lead. And, as in the dark days, they will still get all the cool cars and motorcycles -- whether we do, or not. (And, again, they'll be laughing at us for our grand gesture.)
