		<description>Their so full of sh.it. Most hybrid vehicles struggle to put out less than 130 grams per kilometer, and most vehicles fall into a category between 180 and 300 grams per km. This whole &quot;global warming&quot; thing is overhyped, and I&#039;ve seen a lot of scientists fall back on their self righteous proclamations. Similar ones with the opposite effect were made in the 80&#039;s and faded away. 

Nobodies taking responsibility to &quot;save the planet&quot;. The planet will survive one way or another, without us. More people are seeing some sense of &quot;truth&quot; that global warming is a hoax. Weathers fine and dandy up here, just had one of the coldest winters in the recent past!

And what&#039;s this about &quot;clean air&quot;? Sure, cars in the 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s had horrible emissions that created smog that took 20 years to clear from cities such as NY, San Fransisco and others that still remain, but todays cars produce a &lt;i&gt;tiny&lt;/i&gt; fraction of what vehicles then did. The biggest reason why China is having air quality problems for the Olympics isn&#039;t for the most part because of vehicles, which they&#039;ve already taken off the road, but because of factories and other forms of uh... pollution. You don&#039;t read much about smog from vehicles anymore, not to say that it doesn&#039;t happen.

Any who, Europe will continue to regulate and tax your people until it drives you all bonkers and insane. Great cars, some pretty funny comedy and some bright ideas that seem to never get anywhere, but most of that has moved out of the country as well.

And for those of you who are claiming that exotic vehicle buyers will take up the price... they already have. Just look at all the ridiculous taxes and expenses Jeremy Clarkson had to import his Ford GT, it came to a couple thousand pounds.

Once again though, it&#039;s another election between dumb and dumber. Obama has many things to hide, and when ever someone else tries to bring them to light, Obama pulls out the racial card.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m here to use bad spelling, bad grammar, foul language, and bad logic to tell you that all those fancy scientist that I trust to create all the things I use in everyday life without a second thought are all lying hoaxers when they warn us about destroying our environment as we know it with pollution.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about time, seriously the time has really come to take responsibility for cleaning our enviroment up and getting shit together. I LOVE cars but with it comes the responsibility of accepting your role and not mitigating everything off on someone else. Look at Chinas pollution for instance all of you can&#039;t be that dumb to realize the US was like that 50yrs ago in the bigger metro cities and even 10yrs ago in LA, NY, Houston. Honestly, all of you who can&#039;t afford 100k vehicles really need to just shutup. Those of us who can afford these vehicles will pay whatever extra tax and what not. The world is chaning and guess what its gonna change without you, just accept it. Quit whining.</description>

		<description>If the emissions are lumped together with those of the other brands of the company, then why is it a problem? 
VW sells millions of normal cars and not even 20.000 of Lambo and Bentley combined..</description>

		<description>Rich people, you can thank Al Gore. His agenda that we are heating up the planet by ourselves is just stupid. CO2 is not bad, and the CO2 concentration in Earth&#039;s atmosphere was about 0.0384% by volume. Making a supercar put out less than half of the CO2 just ain&#039;t gonna happen. The truth is, we don&#039;t know how the earth works. We have ideas, but we know very little. And the idea that (according to scientists) the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and humans broke it in 100 years by driving cars and operating factories. Over 90% of all pollution comes from volcanoes, decaying plants and animals, and forest fires. Do you think there were volcanoes and all that before humans? I think so.</description>

		<description>&quot;Since marques like Ferrari and Maserati; Lamborghini and Porsche are actually owned by larger companies – Fiat and VW, respectively – the EU lumps their production with their larger parent companies.&quot; Porsche is owned by VW? Other way around, LLN!</description>

		<description>Solution: Move the companies out of Europe. What&#039;ll be comical is that by the time they realize that MAN MADE global warming is just a big hoax, they will have no auto industry left. F**k them, let them ride in rickshaws for all I care. (BTW, it&#039;s been recently found that the earth has actually been COOLING the last 8-10 years) Funny how Euros turn their nose up at every other people, but frankly, they (and sheeple Americans too!) are so wrong about this, just like they were about Hitler. They are so friggin gullable. No doubt we&#039;ll have to bail them out (again) from the economic mess they are creating for themselves over this irrational fear. Here&#039;s what would be more effective -- limit the birthrate of French and the hot air they spew from their pompous, rude mouths and the toxic fumes eminating from their smelly armpits.</description>
