Today the Secretary of Transportation allowed Cash for Clunkers vouchers to be used for cars that are not in stock at dealerships. In other words the vouchers can be used to order a qualifying car of choice.

Energy Literacy Advocates has previously commented on the need for lengthening the duration of the clunkers program in order to allow for a change in mindset to producing and driving more fuel efficient vehicles. Clearly the ability to order cars still falls far short of this goal, but at least it is a step in the right direction.
