Yep that is the big question. I think it was a pretty good success overall. The idea of stimulus is to put money in people's pockets and create jobs. There were announcements the other day that GM was calling back a bunch of workers since they were selling cars again and clearly these dealers got big boosts in business, plus consumers got a good deal and we got a bunch of polluting, inefficient cars off the streets. The question is will they find new ways to entice consumers to buy now that the massive rebates are gone? I guess we will find out.
