Cash for Clunkers data

NEWS FLASH: C.A.R.S. Program Statistics
August 5, 2009


Dealer Transactions
Number Submitted: 184,304
Dollar Value: $775.2M


Top 10 New Vehicles Purchased

1. Toyota Corolla
2. Ford Focus FWD
3. Honda Civic
4. Toyota Prius
5. Toyota Camry
6. Hyundai Elantra
7. Ford Escape FWD
8. Dodge Caliber
9. Honda Fit
10. Chevrolet Cobalt

New Vehicles Manufacturers

General Motors 18.7%

Toyota 17.9%

Ford 16.0%

Honda 11.6%

Chrysler 10.6%

Nissan 7.0%

Hyundai 6.6%

Kia 3.8%

Mazda 2.3%

Subaru 2.2%

Volkswagen 1.9%

Suzuki 0.4%

MINI 0.3%

Mitsubishi 0.3%

Smart 0.2%

Volvo 0.1%

All Other 0.1%


Nearly half of new vehicles purchased under the program were from the Big Three. The Big Three’s share in this program (45%) is equivalent to their overall share in the auto market (about 45%). Four of the top ten selling vehicles are manufactured by the Big Three. Of non-Big Three purchases, preliminary analysis suggests that well over half of these new vehicles were manufactured in the United States.



Top 10 Trade-in Vehicles

1. Ford Explorer 4WD
2. Ford F150 Pickup 2WD
3. Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD
4. Jeep Cherokee 4WD
5. Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan 2WD
6. Ford Explorer 2WD
7. Chevrolet Blazer 4WD
8. Ford F150 Pickup 4WD
9. Chevrolet C1500 Pickup 2WD
10. Ford Windstar FWD Van


Vehicles Purchased by Category

Passenger Cars: 88,814
Category 1 Truck: 52,391
Category 2 Truck: 8,601
Category 3 Truck: 295

Thus far, 83% of trade-ins under the program are trucks, and 59% of new vehicle purchases are cars. The program is working far better than anyone anticipated at moving consumers out of old, dirty trucks and SUVs and into new more fuel-efficient cars.



Vehicle Trade-in by Category

Passenger Cars: 24,903
Category 1 Truck: 99,186
Category 2 Truck: 24,931
Category 3 Truck: 1,081


Average Fuel Economy

New vehicles Mileage: 25.3 MPG
Trade-in Mileage: 15.8 MPG.
Overall increase: 9.6 MPG, or a 61% improvement

Cars purchased under the program are, on average, 21% above the average fuel economy of all new cars currently available, and 63% above the average fuel economy of cars that were traded in. This means the program is raising the average fuel economy of the fleet, while getting the dirtiest and most polluting vehicles off the road.

Good stuff. Glad to see the program has been a success, and especially glad to see that the Big Three are benefitting from it so much.

And driving a Pontiac rental car I can see why GM is bankrupt. The Vibe I'm driving has less than 1000 miles on it and already has transmission problems, spotty fit and finish and cheap paint. I miss my Jetta...

You said "go ford" based on the cash for clunkers data that I assume you misread don't try to spin it now by jingling your keys in the air and saying "look over here at the bailout data etc"

Don't forget, we're on the same "Buy American" team

Haha True!

GO FORD as in "they didn't need any help to compete with Asia/Europe"

Well I'm actually trying to figure out how the 2nd best selling car was Ford and GM (which came in 10th on that list) has a "better" share.

I know we're on the same team..just come to grips with GM's failure wait I mean our company since the govi bought it with both our funds j/k

And I'm a big Caddy fan anyway

at least not ALL of the money went to Korea, and most of the cars are at the minimum domestically assembled.
