There will always be someone willing to buy and run more expensive cars, Rich.... Granted, this may reduce the market for them - which I suppose is what the government wants, if we give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they do actually want to reduce emissions.
It doesn't at all.
I can go out and buy a lower emission car, but bearing in mind that a car consumes more energy in its manufacture than it consumes in its life this in turn only causes more emissions......etc etc and someone else will be driving round in my old car causing more emissions etc.

Revenue generation in the guise of social responsibility - pure and simple.

Putting the "Car" back in "Carbon footprint".
EDIT .
The other half of the sig says :
Putting the "sensual" into "nonconsensual sex".
