The brand exchange is mixed. Although some domestic brands are being traded for other domestic brands, the net gain is toward foreign brands. Over 50% of those foreign brands are manufactured in the U.S—most in non-UAW plants.The question is: Where do the bulk of profits go?

The list of top ten “clunkers” includes all domestic brands. Consequently, many U.S brand “clunkers” are being exchanged for foreign brands.

The Volt is powered by an electric motor and a battery pack with a 40-mile range. After that, a small internal combustion engine kicks in to generate electricity for a total range of 300 miles. The battery pack can be recharged from a standard home outlet.
