11/10/09 Stockholm, Sweden – As we have all seen, Cash for Clunkers helped juice the US economy’s third quarter GDP growth. Even though it’s more than likely a problem for the economy in the long term.
But who’s interested in those details? The Onion has now captured the inside scoop on how Ford is taking the clunker strategy to an all-new level… with a car for America’s modern age.

Cash4Clunkers was perhaps the most wasteful thing the Government has ever invented. How can they take our tax dollars to flood the already saturated market with overpriced retail cars? The auto market is already bursting at the seams with used and repossessed vehicles (see http://www.repofinder.com). The byproduct of C4C is that used car values will continue to drop and repossessions will skyrocket.
