CARS - CAR Allowance Rebate System - is not a bad idea to stimulate the economy, but it is far too lenient when someone can go and trade in his old Chevy pickup truck, for just another pick-up truck (albeit a new Ford F-150). No, if you are getting free money (tax payer provided), you should really be forced to select a vehicle that gets MUCH better fuel ecomony than a F-150 truck.
I have nothing against the Ford F-150, and drive a large SUV myself, but if you decide to buy/drive a huge vehicle, well it should really be on your own dime.
I guess the underlying problem is that if the rules were more strict, most would be "forced" to buy (much better quality) Japanase and Korean designed/made vehicles, and that would not help out Detroit a great deal.
