As a non-driver I'd like to see less emphasis on car-culture altogether. I live in a village where there are horses, cyclists, ramblers, joggers and dog walkers (not to mention the kids walking home from school without pavements) and speeding big posh motors zooming through the middle of it all on their rush to cut through from A to B (with us in the middle being neither A nor B). Otherwise I agree with RB, the focus on new cars is not anywhere as helpful to the environment as it is claimed to be, or indeed the British economy. Plus I'd rather have the dusty MG's rumbling through the village than electric blue Subaru's startling the bunny rabbits ;-)
