Loaf you have only confirmed what I suspected when I read your first post. You are a loser.

Loafs, if you care so much about the environment and hate cars, then why drive one at all? Ride a bike or walk. Honestly, before they all stop driving, i will not take any eco terrorist seriously, they are such hypocrites.

As for accidents involving pedestrians, i agree that majority of the times it’s the pedestrians fault. Is it really that difficult to use a pedestrian crossing? And is it really so difficult to wait for the green man? I’ve nearly drove into pedestrians quite a few times, and always it’s some idiot trying to cross the road without using the designated crossing.

As for this car, i quite like it, this is what Jeep should be about, raw and rugged with great off roading ability.

So True Alex,
Loafs 1963 Kombi generates more pollution then a H2 hummer… Probably leaves oil puddles everywhere too!!

Don’t see why everyone is getting so excited over the J8, the Wrangler Rubicon is still much better offroad!! Even the Diesel has been detuned in this, and leaf springs have replaced the coils, compared to the standard CRD version!!

^Hmmm…Loaf, you hate cars but you are posting on a car blog???? Alex has said it all, I always laugh when so called environmentalists spout hypocrytical nonsense about pollution and then climb into their 30 year old CO2 factories!

If you had any credibility you would be driving a small Euro diesel or the like that produce the least CO2 of any cars other than the current hybrids with their toxic batteries.

And true some 4WDers do a lot of damage in places they should not be but most stick to areas set aside by the government for that very activity. I’m sure Alex is responsible with his Range Rover as I am with the Work Land Cruiser. For my personal car I drive a small Euro hatch that probably generates about 10% of your Kombi’s emissions!

Yeah, Loaf, I reckon that a 63 Kombi would probably throw out about twenty times as much Co2 as my Range Rover. Most cars that were built in the 60′s and before hand, especially ones as basic as the Kombi, were not kind to the environment. Now you appear to be talking about off roading being bad for the environment and yeah, it probably is but so is Co2 output and a polluting Volkswagen Kombi is not good news for the environment either.

Now that looks like a Jeep SHOULD look. Not like a bloody Compass.
