I'm not really in the business of pushing new cars, but I'm a red-blooded male and I've seen hyrids overtaken by milkfloats and Smarts as the custard filling between two Euro-lorries, so when the trusty R-reg gives up the ghost I will need another. Unless, of course, they sort out the transport syst... well, it was worth half-mentioning.
So I really got excited by this.
SAAB 9-5 2.3t BIOPOWER
Price £23,270-£29,015 (not so excited by this)
Performance 0-62mph: 7.9sec (yup, that worked)
Top speed: 147mph (when using E85 fuel) (well, if you are an off-duty copper or judge maybe)
Power/Torque 210bhp / 228 lb ft (when using E85) (that's more when it's eco!)
It's cleaner faster, gruntier and greener. So then this just plain doesn make sense:
Only 13 places in the UK sell E85 and they’re all Morrisons supermarkets, mainly in Norfolk and Somerset. Until cars are taxed on net carbon dioxide emissions, there is no cash advantage to buying.
Boogger.
