Looks like those with big 4x4s might be going to get hit with another price rise.

What do you think, and try not to cry on your keyboards please, use a hankie ;)

manufacturers get a higher limit if the car is heavier, so what will happen is they will make even heavier cars.

Another stupid idea.

Companies will just have to put up the price of 4x4s, so people have to spend more buying them, and the 2nd hand prices will go down dramatically. The Range Rover sport may become the biggest depreciating car in history! (if it isnt already is)

Id love a big 4x4, but I wouldnt buy one, unless I lived on a farm or I was very rich (and had my own off-roading track) as I dont need one.
