Cash For Clunkers Not So Green?
Best Sellers are Still the Biggest and Powerful!

Thursday, August 13th, 2009, 3:25While the Whitehouse won’t release the specifics on cars bought with the Cash 4 Clunkers program, a quick look at Edmunds.com shows how much the dems have been wrong in toting it as a successful green program.
The #1 Car is the Ford Escape, a compact SUV or SUV, as described by Edmunds.com, its fuel economy ranges from 21-24 mpg depending on the model you buy. With a comfortable 171 to 240 HP to tow your kids to soccer practice.
#2 selling isĀ the Ford Focus which doesn’t even break the 30 mpg range, sitting at 28 mpg. Who cares about its HP?
#3 SUV Jeep Patriot (25 mpg) 158 – 172 HP
#4 Dodge Caliber (22-27 mpg) 148 – 285 HP
#5 Ford F-150 (15-17 mpg with over 51 different styles!) 248 – 310 HP wooooooo!
All excellent vehicles, and I applaud this change towards buying bigger better autos. Hell, if I was given the prospect of turning in a junker in order to get my money back from the government and buy an F150 I’d go for it! [not really, I just like to spoil the environMENTALists fun]. The only real fuel efficient cars that break 30 mpg aren’t in the top 5 and number 7 is the Chevy Silverado with 15-17 mpg with 255 – 345 hp. They can hide their numbers and birth certificates[LOL] but we’ll find them somehow!
Thank you Democrats. I’m pretty excited about this now, more SUV’s and trucks to eat my dust!

[...] month, and it is over a thousand times smaller than ObamaCare. If you can ignore the facts that it doesn’t even put “green cars” out or does not get people to buy American or promptly reimburse dealers, then ya its a great program. [...]
