Steve King Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hi All Not long got back from visiting my Mum. Whilst I was at Mum's (waiting for filler to dry before I could do some wallpapering!) I read the Daily Torygraph and was amazed to see a sensible reasoned article in support of cars with a longer lifespan particularly 4x4s and other cars that survive 100K miles or more. The article pointed out the costs of recycling batteries and the larger environmental footprint of hybrid cars like the Prius because of the energy used in manufacturing. It's too late in the night for me to try to scan the article (and i'm not too sure how my scanner is performing at the moment - had to remove a quantity of cat vomit from it the other day ) However as soon as I can I wil try and paste the whole article in a post here. cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will_warne Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 If anyone's interested, here's the article in full. Shame its a US study and so, on a quick read, doesn't show the defender. Chances are that this'd be just as good as the wrangler, if not better, over its life cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
