Ford Builds CARS
Ford is jumping on the recently signed Car Allowance Rebate System (a.k.a. Cash for Clunkers) to lure customers into the showroom. Fordâs home page includes a highlighted link to the âRecycle Your Rideâ program. A prospective Ford buyer can enter details about their current vehicle into a drop-down menu system and quickly see if it qualifies for scrapage. They can also discover which Ford models earn the $4500 or $3500 federal voucher against the crusher candidate.ĂÂ So far the Dodge, Chevrolet,ĂÂ Honda and NissanĂÂ websites have nothing.ĂÂ Toyota and Volkswagen both offer primitive informational pages, but nothing to match the sophistication of Fordâs effort. You would think the government-owned auto companies would be all over the government-run incentive program. But no. And get this: KBBâs man tells The New York Times that the consumers might be better off without the vouchers . . .
