Germany to extend car subsidy-government source

BERLIN, March 25 (Reuters) - Germany's main coalition parties have agreed in principle to extend incentives the government has been offering consumers to boost car sales, a government source said on Wednesday.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and Vice-Chancellor Frank-Walter Steinmeier agreed to limit the extension of the measure to this year, the source said, adding details would be decided next month.
