I think the market system fails us as it tries to give folk want they want not what is best for them or what they need.
I agree less manufactures would help.
But we now enter the realm of Government control to arrive at such a situation and if we go there we may as well simply legislate so the market gets what it needs not what it wants.
Also I feel maybe instead of new models all the time that running with one for say five years may help... a free market cant do that of course because everyone wants the latest...It would be a brave Government who try to rationalise the industry... maybe the carbon thing will give them an excuse and folk mat accept it ..to save the planet approach.. but taxing seems the only method they will try to save the planet with.
AND why do we allow cars that car do near 300 klms p/h ...
When in Sydney and on occassion I find myself in the stop stop traffic I look each side and wonder why folk want such powerful cars... I feel it is mostly an ego thing... cause no one can use the advantage of more power than my little car... and on the freeway my car keeps up with traffic... with heaps of speed in reserve...

Mick it makes me happy to hear that there is some rationalisation and thanks for an inside view.
