Quick answer - YES!!

The environmental cost to the of building a car far outweighs the environmental cost of running one. We need to make less cars and look after the ones we have...

It's even better than recycling.

I still cannot believe that Spartenburg punches out over 35,000 Xdrive cars a month. And that's just one car range from one manufacturer.

How is making cars at this rate sustainable? (Answer: it isn't).
