No doubt tiresome as you fail to answer you own riddles or give a convincing answer re your own choice and your picking on others choice of 4 x 4.
Lack of answers suggests you are a politician Ricky .
You keep on about the end of 4 x 4 when more manufacturers are producing them, you ignored that the other day and then at the weekend there is the new Mazda 4 x 4 to add to an ever growing list and upgrades to Pathfinder as mentioned elsewhere here plus other 4 x 4 developments.
Public buy 4 x 4 so the opinion is only that of those driven by hype to detract from tax hikes by a failing Government.
What Car even describes your cars "highish emissions" to Ricky so you will be paying for your gas guzzler not just 4 x 4's and the realists know the facts that the price hike has nothing to do with Green issues, even Browns own people admit that.
As for your facts, like they say, you can make up facts to read how you want. The facts are that huge budgets are still being pumped into the building of more 4 x 4's and there are waiting lists for many of them to.
Not being able "to think of anything more to add" might be why you have such a problem accepting that others choice differs from yours Ricky and that maybe you are as wrong not only putting the 4 x 4 choice as a failure compared to your Jag but in believing all that you selectively read.
As for being sensitive, as you fail to awnswer with the simplest of replies re questioning of your "anti" rants and your failed Green Car Choice are you not the one suffering from being over sensitive.
What happened to the Freelander thread while I've been out?
Anyway I have an opinion on the 4X4 debate and if you all behave I,ll share it with you.
All the tax increases that old misery Brown is levying on us are not aimed at only 4X4's but on any vehicles with emissions above a certain level.
They will affect a number of large saloons, estates and MPV,s so the owner of a Jaguar or BMW will be shafted just the same as Land Rover owners.
This government want everyone to drive around in Nissan Micra's or preferably walk everywhere.
While they drive around in armour plated bombproof cars with uprated engines to carry the extra weight.
Remember his right hand man, 2 shags Prescott and his 2 Jags.
Eventually only the very wealthy will be able to drive large cars
while the Chinese and Indian peasants will be zooming around in Lexus's and X5,s.
Blair and his bunch of fornicating bandits are trying to show the world what a green country the UK is becoming, truth is we make such a small impact that its not worth the bother.
Incidently my Citroen C8 now falls into a higher excise duty bracket so my car tax has gone up.
My wifes Honda CRV diesel road tax has stayed the same because its emissions are lower.
The media have latched on to 4x4 because they are an easily identifable type of vehicle.
