Here's an interesting post that caught my attention today. Oh well, this comment post from wobbletastic (autotraderblog.co.uk) made me think a lot about green cars.

So here's the comment... "Please don’t buy a ‘green car’ thinking that you will be saving the world, because you wont be.Only buy a car you actually like. Manufacturers don’t make these cars because they have any intention of changing the natural world for the better. They simply produce so-called environmental cars to fill a market niche..... the marketing chaps will say whatever they want to increase their profit margin; by buying a ‘green car’ you are falling into their trap.."

Seriously he got his point, but for me there's nothing wrong on buying green cars. Maybe partly these auto makers are using this strategy to increase their market as well. Who wouldn't like cutting from huge fuel bills? from expensive gasoline, radiators parts, etc. Not big deal at all.
