Maybe that's the plan: I wonder how the powers-that-be will remove all of the unwanted non hybrid/electric cars off the road quickly enough to meet their targets. They don't want people using old cars that have minimal carbon footprint (due to the fact that there is no need to dig up expensive materials to keep them running in comparison to modern cars), they want us to consume new cars at a fantastic rate to keep the economy ticking along nicely.
Personally I thinking retro-fitting more efficient engines into older cars is a much more green approach than continually scrapping cars, digging the earth up for more materials and making more and more complex products. Never mind batteries for electric cars/hybrids and where the materials come from - that's not exactly a green process!
Why putting a more efficient engine etc into an older car should potentially mean SVA is just bonkers and possibly a sign of the Governments true intent.
