I'd imagine we're all pretty unanimous in our appalled feelings and anger
toward this politically distorted agenda. It falls so woefully short of being
efficient logical and genuinely relevant to prolonging finite resources.
Instead it's propping up manufacturers who've largely had their heads up
their own asses unreasonably expecting sustained over production output
for years just to sustain shareholder greed and excesses within their
organisation; it couldn't continue as was and this was their wake up call -
to try and shore everything up by an I'll conceived cash for clunkers with
a veneer of "greeness" insults the intelligence.
As KP says, the cars better targeted are the ones that truly are awful and
have comprehensively failed an MOT where their owners stand little chance
of repair or buying new and don't have the aptitude to comprehend how to
prolong the useful efficient working life of a vehicle. This is what being a
greener more honest car owner should be - not the change it every 3 years
before something needs spending money on it mindset is with the facile
keeping one up on the Joneses!
I don't see m(any) voices on any forum justifying this insidious scheme and
feel everyone actually feels proud of running and maintaining an older
vehicle than a sterilised jap/eurobox piece of unremarkable tat!
No wonder then that passions and opinions may be very keen just short of
the point of blaspheme!!
