Sentence Understanding

Hi kind people
I got a trouble in understanding the sentence
"Thanks in part to Beijing's efforts on air quality, SUV makers are in for a fun ride for a while yet."

It appears to me that " be in for a fun ride" means sth still "positive"

But I fail to understand the accurate meaning.

Can someone kindly clarify on this?

I get the sentence from Wall Street Journal 2013 april 26-28

It's possible, however, that the tone is ironic - you'd need to read the surrounding sentences to be sure.

Yes, that makes more sense, doesn't it?
