How good the emissions and how healthy the car is for the planet should definately be important factors, but for a lot of people it's just down to what's trendy and what looks good. As soon as car manufacturers get serious about global warming and make their flagship ranges eco-friendly, not just some "side project" car to release to appease the "do gooders" then we'll see a difference. Imagine if the car everyone was talking about in the media, on shows like Top Gear and in lads mags was the new eco car, which looks really cool. Hi,
