Cash for Clunkers talk heating up

A month ago I was leaning toward "no way". Today, with obscene amounts of helicopter money being proposed for non-virus projects, I'm past neutral toward "possibly".

There's speculation about what C4C v.2.0 might become, but if it should happen I'm thinking that the 60% US content rule would survive in the era of "Keep America Great".

That means the two Toyota sporty models wouldn't make the cut and surprisingly some Ford and GM sporty products wouldn't either.

A couple analysis I read showed that only certain models of Mustang or Camaro would make the 60% U.S. content cut but those analysis used different models and we all know how reliable scientific models have been this year so who knows?

Hypothetically, if I were looking for an eligible C4C performance car it would be interesting to pencil out a Camaro 2SS (not sure if ZL1 would make the price or mpg cut) and if eligible go hunting for a beater trade-in.
