Lina, if we are going to just copy articles of the web and call it "data", here is one for you:
Clunkers program could drive used car prices up
USA TODAY
Hundreds of thousands of "clunkers" headed for scrappers may cause already rising prices for used cars to head even higher, dealers and market analysts warn.


The popular cash-for-clunkers program, extended by Congress last week with $2 billion more in federal incentives, requires that all the old fuel guzzlers traded in are scrapped — not resold. That means up to 750,000 vehicles will never find their way into the hands of another owner.



Now, the clunker program could cause prices to rise 5% to 10% more, especially for vehicles worth $4,500 or less, says Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst for <FONT color=#00529b>Kelley Blue Book
. "It's going to drive prices up of some of the most affordable vehicles we have on the road."

"White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says the average fuel economy increase so far is 9.4 mpg; a 61% increase." Based on the first 80,000 sales, "83% of the vehicles traded in have been trucks, while 60% of the vehicles purchased under the program have been cars." The Top Ten Cash for Clunkers Trade-Ins:
1.1998 Ford Explorer
2. 1997 Ford Explorer
3.1996 Ford Explorer
4. 1999 Ford Explorer
5.Jeep Grand Cherokee
6. Jeep Cherokee
7. 1995 Ford Explorer
8. 1994 Ford Explorer
9. 1997 Ford Windstar
10. 1999 Dodge Caravan

Lina, not sure what the point of that post is, but all those trucks that were traded in are the trucks that would normally be bought by small businesses for their transportation. Now these businesses will have to buy newer more expensive used cars or go without...

So comparing the "trade-in" list with the "new cars bought" list it looks like we are taking American cars off the road and replacing them with primarily foreign cars. So not only the car parts prices will go up, the demand for American car parts will plummet too

GM said Tuesday it would add 60,000 vehicles to its production schedule in the third and fourth quarters and bring back about 1,350 laid-off workers. The company now plans to make 535,000 cars and trucks during July-September.
.
The Cobalt, GM's highest-mileage car at up to 37 mpg on the highway, once was among the top 10 vehicles on the "cash for clunkers" purchase list. Dealers say shortages have bumped it from the top 10 list.

Lina, are we just going to keep re-posting the same articles over and over? Aren't you capable to make your a point in your own words?

So Ok, according to this article you keep on reposting, there might have been3 (out of 10!)American cars on the top ten list. Whoohoo...what a way to spend my money...

There were four on the list that I posted below, also, according to one of the articles, shortages bumped one of the GM cars from the top 10list - perhaps they're not able to keep up with the demand, furthermore, "Nearly half of new vehicles purchased under the program were from the Big 3", "83% of trade-ins under the program are trucks, and 59% of new vehicle purchases are cars" - good for the environment and the pocketbook,GM brought back some of the laid of workers and increased production... I thought the point I was making was rather obvious...
