Click on the next button to see the ten most traded-in vehicles, ranked, under the CARS Act program. Then click next again for the ten most purchased vehicles. Not surprisingly, there's not a single car in the top ten list of trade-ins, while with the exception of one small SUV, the rest of the new car purchases were all cars. Wow, doesn't is sound like we're repeating ourselves a little.
