that’s exactly my point though…car companies get rated on gas mileage not on just one specific car…but on an average

so they need cars like the yaris so that on an average they can make a higher performance car…(if or whenever toyota decides to bring the supra back)

but that’s why mercedes has the smart…so on an average they can afford to make cars like the c63

for every gas guzzling car that a car maker produces…there is an near equal car that is fuel efficient

but you guys are right…cars nowadays are much better to the environment…i mean there are even cases where cars emissions are cleaner than the air around them…effectively acting like a freaking vacuum cleaner…

it’s already been proven that cars that are 10 years and older make up 90 percent of the greenhouse effects…not the modern ones

which is why i love these high horsepower cars…it pisses green people off  
_shrugs_ I find it very amusing…that’s all…
