Before we have our say, let us note that we wouldn’t care less about the stars in the list but we do care a great deal about the environment. However, we cannot understand the meaning behind this list other than it includes eye-catching celebrity names. They found ten people whose cars pollute two to three-times more than your average Joe’s car – so what? It’s not as if everyone idolizes these people and even if some do, how many of them will buy a Veyron?
And please don’t say that if we take out all the Ferraris and Bugattis in the world, it’s going to make things much better – cause it won’t. In order to make a difference you have to make cars like the Toyota Corolla, Ford F-150 and VW Golf that sell by the millions more eco-friendly and that’s the hard truth. Feel free to agree or disagree with us. -Continued

I have to disagree with you on this one. These are people that our children look up to and they should be the ones who give the right example.
Anon# Some great role models for children...
I bet Jeremy Clarkson is feeling quite sad right now about now being on that list
LOl. Yeah Jeremy must be going mad right about now. I sure would be after driving a CCX Enzo and other crazy super cars.
I bet he's not.
When I read that an entire formula one season's worth of emissions is the equivalency of a one way 747 transatlantic flight, I thought how things have just gotten a little bit silly out there. I love cars and I try to do my bit for he environment, but I'm not going to cry foul because we're singling out celebrities for driving fancy cars even if most of them are prats.
city car club are actually quite cool normally - they're a car sharing scheme will cars held all over large citys that any of their members can drive with very little notice. s'cool
WoW... i'm totally blown away by the fact that Mr. Bean owns a Bugatti Veyron... You seriously have no idea how much that blows my mind... Can u picture Mr Bean, haulin ass in one of the fastest production cars? .... speachless.
Actually, I"ve never heard of a fair amount of these celebs.
But like a lot of car buffs, they likely don't drive them everyday, all the time.
