It seems quite apparent that no one can really define what eco-friendly really means. There seems to be ample evidence of a global cooling phenomenon, and we are really putting this planet in jepoardy of another ice age by driving EVs and hybrids. I hope you will all join with me to save the planet and remember to drive with a heavy foot and fill up before 6pm.

Want to be really eco-friendly? Buy an already-built car and fix it vs. buying a new one. Stop the disposable-car cycle. Ha ha! What now, eco-geeks!

I agree with you to a point, but someone has to buy new cars, or there won't be any used for the rest of us.

Yeah.
Buying a new car every year because it's "more efficient" is like taking a Painting that took you a whole year to get to a point where you throw it all in a garbage because you found a new way to make this painting and this new way will save time and paint more efficiently. But you know next year you'll do the same.
It might save you time to get to the same point, but you still spent a whole year on something you threw away.
People don't get it. Just make things last longer, dammit!

In a way I kind of think that's why auto companies are struggling these days. Graphs like this one:
support that theory. There certainly needs to be new cars out on the road but lately I wonder what real innovations are being added vs. "a cosmetic update".
