The CARS program was a government-run solution to get polluting cars off the road by providing credit for the trade-in of 'clunkers' towards the purchase of smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. In Tim Brown of IDEO's blog, he posts an image of a Toyota dealership inundated with 'clunkers'. The majority of these inefficient, oversized vehicles are American-made - specifically Ford, GM and Chrysler. Brown asserts that this image underlines just how poorly the US auto industry has been run for years.

American car manufacturers need to take the lead in innovating new viable solutions, and more importantly people could stop investing unneccesary amounts of their income to pay for gas, and demand greater fuel efficiency for their daily commute.
