No, they didn't get it right.

Maybe it makes sense to incentivize driving a Toyota Prius or a Honda Civic hybrid, but does it make sense to promote the 2008 Chevy Tahoe hybrid which achieves a whopping 20 MPG? The 2004 Ford Focus my girlfriend and I drive maybe twice a week gets 30 MPG, 50% better fuel economy than the Tahoe, but somehow that's not eligible for a tax credit.

Something's not right.
