I somewhat agree. I'd seperate all cars into 3 groups: Big 3 built in America, foreign imported, big 3 imported/foreign built in America.

For the cars built in America with the money going back to an American automaker, they get the full rebate. If its imported by a foreign automaker then it gets nothing. Everything else is 50% of what it would otherwise be. An American made Honda would get the same rebate as a Mexican Chevy. But for one reason or another (I'm betting on lobbyists from foreign automakers) the bill never turned out like that.
