    Popularity of Cash for Clunkers Makes Top Cars Scarce - WSJ.com

    "The Toyota Prius was almost sold out at the end of July, with just 13 days’ worth left on Toyota lots. The No. 1 selling clunker replacement, the Toyota Corolla, was down to 34 days’ supply. The Ford Escape compact crossover wagon—the best-selling such vehicle under the clunker program—is down to just 21 days’ supply."

    "This means that if you want to get the benefit of the next $2 billion in cash-for-clunkers trade-in vouchers, you may need to 1) accept that the new car may cost closer to sticker price than you like, or 2) might not be the exact car you want."

    Good. I am glad to see people who are trading in their clunkers are driving off the dealer lots in a new Prius. :)
