Do We Really Need Cars This Big?

[Quoi]

I am sure that future generations will look back to this period and wonder why we wasted all those resources driving around in big 4 seater cars and only usually using one seat.
Even cars like the aygo, vw up! and ka could be classed as too big for a single person really.
I know there are going to be claims about safety and what a happens when you hit something much bigger but surely it would be better to find a solution to separate Lorries and buses. Travelling longer distances needs to use a different transport method.
I thought the peugot tulip city car project was going to change the world but I bet its demise was due to car makers and profits rather than the ecology.

My issue with the "people don't need cars" thing is that the solutions proposed are urban ones. If I lived in a city then, provided that the public transport was half decent, I wouldn't have a car. I wouldn't have big dogs or a garden, my entire lifestyle would be different; in fact I would be a very different person.

I am not that urban "me" and my choices are different ones. I don't holiday abroad, go to cinemas or use energy in other ways, instead I have got the car I need for my lifestyle.

If people are going to talk about wasted resource then I think ALL resource use needs to be considered. Foreign holidays, personal use of electricity and gas, use of cinema's, theatres, swimming pools and so on, purchase of items which require energy and materials to make.......purchase of imported items disposal of discarded items and so on......
