What the vehicle makers did get is empty inventories all over the country that they had to fill with new production for 4th Qtr. Did you notice the bump in production announced by every vehicle maker? In fact all the money from the C4C program went to the dealers, their employees and their vendors....and the junkyards that collected the dead clunkers.
Of course. Not a single Toyota dealer called in for more slop after their lots were cleared. Not a single Toyota carrier was sent back across the Pacific after finally being relieved of moldy cargo.
