So this pretty much means any pickup or SUV is out, as well as any performance orientated vehicles.

you have to be looking at little econo boxes for this to fly. and who the hell would give up a 4x4 pickup/suv for one of those?

Look at the cars.gov, the official government website created to get information out about the program. If you are trading in for a category 1 truck you only need to improve by 2mpg for $3500 and 5mpg for $4500. It also has to get better than 18mpg.
