...benefited from the program? From the manufacturers' perspective, everybody except for the luxury carmakers. Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, as well as Ford and GM's small-car lineups all experienced sizable sales increases. The perfect vehicle for the program was the sub-$20K midsize compact car.
