STEVE INSKEEP, host: NPR's business news starts with Cash for Corollas.</s>STEVE INSKEEP, host: The Toyota Corolla sedan is the most popular car among consumers buying new vehicles under the government's Cash for Clunkers program, not just for American cars. The program gives drivers up to $4,500 to trade in gas guzzlers for more fuel-efficient vehicles. Initially it looked like the Ford Focus was the big winner, and a lot of Ford Focuses, or Foci, had been sold, but the Corolla has pulled ahead. Toyota's Prius Hybrid and Camry Sedan were also among the top five purchases. Now, the funding for this program has almost disappeared, but later today the Senate is expected to vote on whether to add another $2 billion.
