And then the U.S. government will figure out a way to push people to buy new cars even if they can't afford them. "Cash for Clunkers" was nothing more than a government-funded program to stimulate demand for new cars at a time when the economy was so bad that the average age of a car on the road in the U.S. had reached twelve years.
A nation filled with people driving third-hand and fourth-hand cars is something out of the Third World.
Maybe they can ramp up charges of “discrimination” and coerce dealers to give loans to people who can’t afford them.
And adding safety mandates on top of CAFE ones only makes cars more expensive, too.
