One of the other points mentioned on that programme, and one on channel 4 also, was that some of the modern 'large' cars emit less emissions than older smaller cars. I suppose you have to take into account that it takes more resources to make a larger car though.

Whatever happens, and as you say, it's always the 'small guy' that gets hit in the pocket.
He he, yes he did, quite right too....Modern engines are very fuel efficient and do not produce much in the way of nasty emissions. I wish I was in a position to be able to buy a new car. All this new tecnology costs lots of money and it is only wealthy people, or people willing to get into debt, who can afford it.......
