Rowan Atkinson suggests holding out on your current car and using it as sparingly as possible, instead of buying a new "green" car with rotting batteries every three years. I like the sentiment but I don't think his reality and my reality align. A car falls apart, and people need to get to work when mass transit isn't possible (or when a decade of austerity and corporate greed has grinded it to a halt). People are going to buy these imperfect cars until there's a more perfect solution, because they have no choice.
