Replying to: british_rover (Jul 13, 2009 9:58 am) I am also considering Mazda5 but Edmunds has rated as a passenger car and not Cat1 truck. It is, however, listed as minivan on the gov't websites. Replies to this message: ldisler (Jul 15, 2009 4:45 am)

Replying to: abraindrainer (Jul 15, 2009 2:20 am) Mazda5 is a Catagory1 Truck. I e-mailed KBB.Com because they also had it wrong, and they replied that it is a Cat. 1 truck.

IMO, the public mostly doesn't know what they want, or even what they have. They just get sucked into ads, and peer pressure.   Most people don't come close to using what they already have, and frankly wouldn't noitce +/- 50 HP. They would, however, notice getting 5 mpa extra!   Heck, the average Lexus owner? Yo ucould probably unplug 1/2 the spark plugs, and they wouldn't notice!   same with handling. many people would soil their pants if they hat a ramp at .4 g's, never mind .8, and really don't need 40 series tires!

Replying to: isellhondas (Jul 14, 2009 2:02 pm) People will receive 3500-4500 for their POS junkers yet some will still want to quibble over scrap value?   I guess I never really appreciated the term "grinder" or when you said a "lousy $100".   OK, I get it...now.   jmonroe

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 15, 2009 8:01 am) Car makers build what the public wants.   They certainly ought to after spending so much money forging those public wants with compelling advertising campaigns.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: woodah (Jul 14, 2009 11:53 am) Some Lexus dealerships are participating they even have links to the C.A.R.S. website on there homepage. Some of these post are so judge mental and pretentious. I beleive there are many people that will use this incentive to purchase a new car. Keep in mind the program has a MSRP cap of 45,000.

Replying to: volvomax (Jul 15, 2009 8:01 am) Car makers build what the public wants. Until recently(and it has ALREADY gone away) the public wanted more power and features as opposed to more MPG.   They shouldn't listen to the public. If Henry Ford did, they would have told him they wanted faster horses.
#241 of 2647 Tracking the amount of rebates used by bigbbd Jul 16, 2009 (8:56 am)
With only 2 million of the rebates available, is there a way to track how many have been used? I am not impressed with the incentives right now and believe 09 incentives will get better when '10 vehicles begin rolling out. But I do not want to miss out on getting $3500-4500 for my vehicle.

Replying to: bigbbd (Jul 16, 2009 8:56 am) if there were 2 million you certainly could wait. unfortunately it's only 200-250K so i wouldn't wait long unless you're willing to gamble that the program will be renewed or extended.
