The government is proposing paying you up to $4500 to turn in a car with less than 18 MPG and buy something more fuel efficient...wow, so the government now owns the majority stake in 1 car company, is a large owner in another, and now wants to pay us to buy more cars. Go figure...

I didn't see anything requiring you to buy American. $3500 if you purchase something with better EPA numbers, $4500 if the EPA numbers are 10-MPG or better over your current vehicle. Cars can't be more than 25 years old.
