Ford Focus Tops Cash for Clunkers Trade List
The Cash for Clunkers program has garnered a lot of media attention lately. The program was so popular that the government re-upped its funding. The beleaguered auto industry has definitely benefited from the program but so have consumers across the nation.
A Yahoo news article listed the top 10 clunker trade ins and the top 10 new cars, as of early August. The Ford Focus tops their list of new cars purchased through the program. This may help explain Ford’s increase in sales in July 2009.
The other nine cars that round out the top 10 new car list are, in order, the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prius, Ford Escape, Toyota Camry, Dodge Caliber, Hyundai Elantra, Honda Fit, and Chevy Cobalt.
Out of the top ten most popular clunkers traded in, the Ford Explorer occupied six spots, including the top four. Other vehicles that made the list include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Cherokee, Ford Windstar, and Dodge Caravan.
