Default Saints and Sinners

I bought my first motoring magazine today, not out of interest but to gain some knowledge about CO2 emmissions from todays new vehicles. I have gleaned the following information from the new car price list:

Saints:

Toyota Prius 1.5 hybrid: 104 g/km
Toyota Aygo 1.0 vvti: 109 g/km
Diahatsu Charade 1.0 EL: 114 g/km
Kia Picanto 1.0: 123 g/km
Fiat Panda 1.1 Active: 135 g/km

Sinners:

Mitsubishi Shogun 3.5 V6: 339 g/km
Volvo XC90 4.4 V8: 322 g/km
Porsche 911 3.6 GT3: 307 g/km
Subaru B9 Tribeca: 291 g/km
Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2.5 (the car all you guys drive!!) : 257 g/km
Volkswagen Golf R32 4-motion technology: 257 g/km

To be frank the list could extend to well over 2 pages on this thread but I do not want to bore you all. Th fact of the matter is the car you all drive (the Subaru WRX STI 2500cc) produces 257 g/km, that my dearest friends is quite high, in fact it is comparable to a large 4 x 4 such as the Subaru Tribeca or Volvo XC90.

Save yourselves some money (and conscience) and buy one of the lovely saints cars such as the Fiat Panda Active. I promise you won't regret it. Byron Edmunds our Vice President downgraded from a Range Rover 4.0 litre to a Mitubishisi LS200, he took the step down and hasn't looked back since. Please follow his lead.


Kindest Regards

Hello

I think you may have confused me with someone else, my user name is not "Troll" whoever he is. I am urging young men to come with me. Lets get it on and make a difference to the world!!

You and I together, the potential is endless!

Warm Regards

Elwyn, you seem to spend more time on this site that I do, think you really have a thing for us don't you
Stay here any longer and you'll be one of us, thinking 4x4, turbo, mods, more power, screw road tax. You know you love it.
Come on, don't be shy. Sit in my bucket seats and lets go for a ride
Show how much fun you can have producing 257 g/km of CO2 emissions.

**** you, the is a car forum, we all love cars, in particular the impreza. I have to stand and teach about the environment, we did a whole school project on ways to reduce CO2, then I go out and drive my scooby and the kids love it - I never have to buy a copy of top gear, the kids all read it!

Cheers,
Rob
p.s. you are on a hiding to nothing - go away!

Banned now anyway but wasn't this well and truly exposed as a wind up in a previous thread as one of the supposed members of his committee pictured on his web site has in fact featured in several adult publications / movies?

Anyway just ignore or accept it for the wind up it is
