    Probably get what I have now. The Lexus LS Hybrid.

    It gets 22 hwy.


    Then again, maybe I would get somethng cheaper and invest the $4500 in GM stock. It's bound to bounce back at some point. those .50 shares should be worth $10 or so in a few years.

    Aren't those 50 cent shares shares in the non-continuing businesses? I think GM itself is not currently trading.

    Limited edition with hubcaps? I guess they expect people to add different wheels?

    They have three alloy wheel options, but I may go with some aftermarket alloys.

    I have no real interest in trading any of my cars or buying any new cars (well, in theory I do not think any of my cars qualify) - but this program was pretty dumb ethically and logically.

    The idea that someone going from 18MPG to 22MPG qualifies but someone that wants to go from 24MPG to 42MPG does not is just... dumb.

    On top of the logic failure - there is an ethical failure as well, assuming you believe in the dangers of energy dependency - you reward the people that had no regard to it - so even under this premise you reward failure. A strange way to look at the American dream, if you ask me.
