Yes, let's be stupid and pick a car with a starting price of over 50,000 dollars ... get real man. Pick what is considered a normal saloon car with a 4+ litre engine, example, I had a 4 litre Buick Le Sabre, it may well be able to tow a house but the acceleration and top speed were nothing compared to an Astra SRI I drove.

We'll pick a C4 from the 1980s. Lets spend say, $12,000.

edit: And concerning your reply about looking elsewhere for the causes of pollution, perhaps as one of the worlds leading nations you should set an example instead of rejecting things like the Kyoto agreement and still insisting on mass producing oversized hunks of metal that probably deplete more fossil fuel for one, than 5 UK cars.

Kyoto is a way of taking money from developed nations and giving it to third world countries. I'm not interested in such socialism. If Mexico, Indonesia, China, and India are exempt, then I don't see why we should join.

Jerrek, Pollution does not stay in one country.

I don't think I've said anything to the contrary.

It may travel thousands of miles and affect the population of another country entirely. Admittedly when people in other countries are suffering from Asthma (and other breathing disorders that have been associated with traffic pollution), there is no way to say that the pollution was caused by any one person.

Please give me some facts of how the U.S.'s pollution has affected countries thousands of miles away.

And besides, a Lotus Carlton poo's on your corvette (and still managed to keep an engine capacity of only 3.6 litres). 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds, top speed of over 187mph

That is not a 1.6L engine as your original bet.
