    Fiat Panda 4x4?!

    I noticed Mitsubishi claim their Outlander has "the lowest CO2 emissions of any 7 seat 4x4."

    Depends what you want it for... a fiat panda is light and you could pretty much drive it up vertical cliff :D ... if you want to tow a horsebox then you're after something very different... You need to compare like with like.

    Hyndai Santa Fe supposably is pretty green and as is the Toyota Rav4. Or even the Lexus RX 400h hybrid.
