Nope, I don't feel you. The car will be lighter, or the same weight with a better spec.. that is good for the buyer.
Also, the article indicates the the price of CF is 20 times higher than steel, but the reduction is 90%. That means CF will still be TWICE the price of steel. So basically it means the manufacturers will use it more than they have been doing, but ultimately it's still more expensive... so why would they charge less?
