But, in any event, while this program may get some cars off the lots of new car dealers, as noted above there are apparently more problems caused by this program than solutions. I see why the Times wouldn't want to to mention that, however, given how much newspaper revenue is comprised of car dealership ads. In fact, it might be interesting to see what sort of bump this program (and the resulting ads for same) gave the media.
