German Car Zone

Who's bashing here and what? What we have here is a list.

Good calculations but you also have to consider how many people can a car carry. In this case it's 5(?) vs 2. Same thing with Smart. It's environmentally friendly but can only carry two.

That's a good point. Gas mileage always (effectively) multiplies with the number of passengers. That's why buses are (theoretically) some of the most fuel efficient vehicles on the planet.

If a bus carrying 20 people gets 6 miles per gallon, it's getting the equivalent of 120 mpg simply by virtue of the fact that each person in the bus would have to get 120 MPG in their personal vehicles in order to end up using only 1 collective gallon of gas in 6 miles.

How many Pruis do you see with 5 people. Most have one or two, maybe one or tow in the back.

In other words, if you want to save the world, buy a bus.

Preferably a Mercedes-Benz Travego Bluetec.

What they have there is suppose to be the list of the most polluting cars on sale right now, which is not true.

ojis, I see where you're coming from but I was trying to make the very simplest of points:

Supercars are rare, exclusive and special; the low number of them relative to even the most environmentally efficient mass-market cars out there means that their total contribution to greenhouse gasses is a mere fraction.

Of course, saving the environment and the planet are paramount considerations but let's target the really big contributors to global warming and environmental pollution and not a merry little band of supercars. Leave them supercars be - I say...

So, the heading of top ten most polluting cars is dreadfully inaccurate.

I guess lists like this make daft people think that banning supercars will reduce pollution to a meaningful extent. That is like saying that the rich CEO of the company should cut his wage to save the company... it is always the masses that need to be corrected.

I hope that's not the mirror design of the new E-class
