Let's see, the numbers put out by the manufacturers themselves were misleading?!?! I don't know about you but they tend not to under report sales as it makes them look bad. Besides, Chevy is only one brand within GM so their sales may have been good but overall the entire company was down. What about the Chrysler numbers? Were they also misleading? The fact is sales stunk before the program because people were waiting for extra cash from the program. And sales spiked during the program. And then it is very reasonable to assume sales would slow after the program.

The real question is whether this program accomplished any long-term good and the answer appears to be no.
