Autoblog was right: there are many strange things on that CARS trade-in list.

For instance, there were 37 vehicles from the 2008 model year including some very expensive cars and trucks -- such as F-series and Ram pickups, Explorers and Suburbans, Saabs, Mustangs and 300s -- and some real fuel sippers -- such as Accents, Elantras and Scion xDs.

Why would anyone trade in a nearly new pickup, SUV or premium car that probably is still worth 75-80% of its original cost for a C4C rebate that maxes out at $4500 ??

And what did someone trade in a fuel sipping Scion for that would qualify for a rebate? A bicycle?
