The CARS Act

Ok LJ friend list... I'm hoping someone here might have some insights on this, at least more than I do.  I've been looking into the new CARS act that President Obama signed on June 24th.  It gives a monetary credit for people who turn in vehicles that get 18 mpg or worse for cars that get substantially better mileage.  Here's a PDF about the program:

Currently I drive Eleanor, a dark green 2001 Chryster Town & Country minivan.  She has been very good to me but she is getting on in years.  And since the kids are leaving for college soon, I don't really need a minivan.  So this program caught my eye - I could trade in my minivan for something smaller, more nimble and with better gas mileage.  Depending on what vehicle I decide on, I could get either $3500 or $4500 towards the purchase or lease of a new one.

Anyone hear anything about this?  Share some advice?  Words of wisdom?  Deep thoughts?
