The Real News from Edmunds

If you’re looking to get your neighbors to subsidize your purchase of a new car, Edmunds has a list of those purchases eligible for “Cash for Clunkers” handouts. A few highlights:

2009 HUMMER H3T

2009 Lotus Elise

2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class

2009 BMW X3

2010 Cadillac SRX

2009 Audi TT

Think on that for a moment: Some Americans are being taxed to help other Americans buy Twin Turbos, Lotuses, Cadillacs, and BMWs. This is a shameful, shameful spectacle. (On the other hand, I wonder how bad the economy has to get before Uncle Sam buys me a Morgan?)
