Default WHEELS: A Bentley Clunked for Cash? The Mind Boggles

From The New York Times:

WHEELS: A Bentley Clunked for Cash? The Mind Boggles

It's really made a dent in the gas guzzling SUV segment by purging the road of these extinct beasts which is a good thing. I saw a clip on TV a few weeks back where they showed what happened to those clunkers... They were crushed like a can!!! The article seems to highlight the rare exceptions than the norm.
