Reply #43: With the exception of the Viper, they're all quite big, and in many cases much bigger than older

versions of the same vehicles, which is what we'd actually see as vehicles submitted for the credit.

As far as cars that are old enough to be worth less than the amount of the credit ($4500,) new enough not to have increased resale due to collectors, and thus are likely trade-ins in this program, we're probably looking at cars from roughly the mid 70's through the mid 90's. So we have a fairly small pool of minivans and SUVs (introduced near the end of our likely pool of vehicles) which are likely to fall a bit above the dividing line (as I said, the Explorer was a bit too efficient, the only time anybody's ever said that of those pieces of crap) and mostly sedans and pickups. Some of the domestic land yachts of the 70s and early 80s might qualify on MPG (keep in mind they would qualify based on their official EPA rating, not whatever they actually get after all this time,) due to their heavy bodies and big engines, but mostly of that era we're going to be looking at pickups.
