British magazine Car has been putting a few noses out of joint in the
automotive trade. Its current edition has a report from an American
outfit called CNW Marketing Research

that puts the Toyota Prius and other hybrid models in their place by
declaring the greenest car you can buy in Britain is......a Jeep Wrangler!

The Wrangler, presumably, is pretty simple, doesn't cost much to make
and, like a number of supposedly evil SUVs, should have a very long life
because of its rugged construction.

Of course Toyota doesn't see it that way

It disputes the proportion of energy used to make a car compared with
how much the vehicle uses during its life, mainly from burning fuel.

The Americans say 80 percent of the energy a car uses is accounted for
by manufacture and 20 percent in use: Toyota claims the reverse
