not many true 'clunkers' are being turned in. Who is taking advantage of this? Obviously people who can afford a new car payment or have cash to plop down.

Are those the folks driving smoke belching heaps of crap? No, they're driving later model cars that are probably in fine working condition that get around 15-16 MPG. And they want a new car.

Wouldn't it make sense to take those tradeins (screens for certain standards) and just flat out give them to the folks who are driving around the cars that are about to break down and belching out pollutants...and get THOSE off the road?

Arg.
