U.S. Department of Transportation release most purchased, most traded vehicles under CARS program
08/05/2009
Although the future of the United Stateââ¬â¢s cash for clunker program is still up in the air, the CARS program managed to move 250,000 vehicles during the week it was up and running. Now that the final tallies are in, the U.S. Department of Transportation has released the most purchased and most traded-in vehicles under the program.
As previously reported, the Ford Focus currently owns the title of most purchased vehicle under the CARS program. The Toyota Corolla follows the Focus in the number 2 spot, with the Honda Civic rounding out the top 3.
The Toyota Prius is currently in the fourth spot but could have been ranked higher had it not been for a supplier issue. The fuel-efficient Prius remains in hot demand ââ¬â with wait lists now extending for months ââ¬â but a battery supply issue has put a cap on total output. The Camry is Toyotaââ¬â¢s third and final nameplate on the top 10 list, checking in at the 5th spot.
The Ford Escape is holding on to the #6 spot and is the only SUV to make the CARSââ¬â¢ top 10 list. The Hyundai Elantra, Dodge Caliber, Honda Fit and Chevrolet Cobalt fill out the rest of the top 10 list.
Not surprisingly, trucks and SUVs dominate the most traded list, with the only exceptions being two minivans. The four-wheel drive version of the Ford Explorer topped the clunkers list, with its two-wheel drive counterpart filling the #7 spot. The two-wheel drive Ford F-150 captured the 2nd spot, with its four-wheel drive counterpart taking the #8 spot.
No other repeats made the list, but Jeep managed back-to-back spots with the four-wheel drive Grand Cherokee at #3 and the four-wheel drive Cherokee at #4.
The Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan checks in as the first minivan on the list at the #5 spot, with the only other minivan on the list ââ¬â the four-wheel drive Ford Windstar ââ¬â ranking 10th on the most traded list.
Chevrolet models fill the last two spots on the list, with the four-wheel drive Blazer in the 6th spot and the two-wheel drive C1500 pickup ranking 9th.
