Those cars could have been sold either in the country or outside of it.

They were clunker GAS HOGS.

Yes, by all means sell the cars we were hoping to get off the road because of their gas consumption and detrimental emissions to other countries, 'cuz we all know that what happens in other countries has no bearing on our air quality...

Did you ever consider that the cars we have, create less pollution than the cars manufactured in other countries?

What I considered was that Americans have too many gas-guzzlers that produce too many harmful emissions.
I also considered the CFC to be a great encouragment for the owners of said vehicles to get rid of them, and to buy something less harmful with better mpg ratios.
