I would prefer to see all the incentives directed towards the consumer----the hard-pressed tax-payers who are now bearing the brunt of an economic collapse they did not create. Let's help Joe six-pack drive green, rather than giving more corporate welfare to Big Auto. All industries are of their time---when they are in tune with their times, they succeed and when they fall out of step, they become obsolete. There is a logic and a natural justice to this. Let the Big 3 get their act together if they want to survive in a new green economy. As Obama said, "the world has changed, and we have to change with it". And so does Big Auto!
