That’s what this study claims. Looking at the overall environmental cost over the life of the vehicle (from planning to manufacturing to driving to disposal), Art Spinella (uber-auto analyst and President of CNW Marketing Research) has compared the total environmental cost of vehicles to see which ones are more wasteful than others. The main conclusions have to do with the lifespan of the vehicle (hybrids often have much shorter life spans) and the “fanciness” of the cars (the fancier, the more environmental costs — sorry to Bentley and Rolls Royce).
