Are 4x4s really as bad as their critics claim?

the comments thing is busted at the moment... afteri typed a nice polite piece too...
still that article isnt really anti 4x4....

[sripad]

Yes it is not ani 4x4. Which is good. I think this is a good opportunity to put our views across.

I kept saying to those anti 4x4 people that if they
are going to ban 4x4s or put higher taxes then they
should also ban luxury/performance cars (Ferrari,
Suburu, Mitsubishi Evo, Porches, BMW 5 series,
MPVs, old cars, etc) as well.

Most of the people got wrong views about 4x4s. Glad to
see an article which explains things properly to the
masses.

Cheers,

whilst we are in the throughs of banning large cars ,there must be a case for banning boats that run on red derv and cruise liners ,also planes land at airports all over this country every few minutes ,none of the above do i use so leave my small engine alone and clout all the above which are probably all larger than the 3.0ltr ,that many of us run.right rant over now and ,sorry to anybody who is lucky enough to own any of the above.

If you had listened to Ian Collins on Talksport today, you would be led to believe that 4x4s are the single most destructive thing on the planet. What a nob nead.

Lets be honest about it Mr Brown didnt put up road tax to keep the green's happy he dont give a monkey's about saving the planet, he knew he couldnt put up tax on fuel or there would be protests again so put it on road tax and called it tax for polluition and the scapgoat is the 4x4 drivers

The bloke is a total tool.
