Default Syclone CLUNKER how sad

How sad to see some of the cars and trucks that will be sent to the junk pile. I took a few pictures but we have a few hundred in our storage lot and counting. CLUNKER PICTURES

Am I missing something. the syclone is worth way more than 4500 bucks so why would someone trade it in as a clunker?

I saw a few Impala SS's on TV here.

Just like most government programs, this one sux.

And, I thought this was a plan to improve the sales of domestic auto makers, and if so, why are most of the higher sales by foreign automakers?

Great job again, government.

Wow! And most people are getting screwed by paying sticker price on their new car in order to get the $4500 clunker trade in. Another huge waste of taxpayer money.

Can you get me any more info on the truck? Like the last 4 of the VIN,and if there is any way to salvage any of the rare and unobtainable parts off it before it gets turned into a Hyundai?

I wish there had been an amendment that would have excluded collectable or high horsepower vehicles from this law. I know the Govt doesn't care about them at all but when the attrition rate has allready claimed hundreds or thousands of these cars and trucks it is a sad thing to thing that more of them get killed off for this failed program... I am sure there are 454SS trucks headed to the back lots right now as well as Buick Grand nationals and more Syclones and Typhoons.....

At a dealership here in KC, somebody traded in a beautiful 87 5.0 Mustang LX convertible with 32,000 original miles. This program is literally making me sick.

I'm not quite ready to wave the BS flag yet, but I am having a hard time believing that people are trading in cars that are obviously worth considerably more than $4500.
