US Scrappage victims

Here in the UK the losers in the government’s scrappage scheme have been some low end Porsches and a number of MGBs.  Over the pond in their own version of the scheme, “cash for clunkers” has seen models including a Bentley Continental R and an Aston DB7 Volante being destroyed, the Detroit Free press reports.  The US scheme ended last month and offered car buyers discounts of up to $4500 (£2700) towards new cars when they traded in old vehicles.  Other cars reported as being traded in include a 999 Mercedes C43 AMG, two special edition 450bhp Ford F150 pickups, a 1985 Maserati Quattroporte, a BMW 850i, and 131 Chevrolet Corvettes.
