    It would be about time. Cars are far safer now, don't require anywhere near the braking distance they used to need.
    But drivers are more distracted!

    Good, there needs to be advances of current/existing technology to bring the price down! All these modern emissions devices are a nightmare.

    Not been on this board long have you :rotfl:

    Have a good read through the motoring section and there will be pages and pages of threads where people want a new car because the tax is lower or the manufacturers figures say it will do 1mpg more than their current car.

    Exactly this....

    A LOT of people don't really buy new cars because of tax or MPG or practicality, they just use these as an excuse or shallow justification for doing so.
