I actually chose the GTI over the R32 in a slight nod to being more environmentally friendly - albeit a small one!

A recent survey in the US over a long period of time (although I cannot remember the exact source so may quite slightly incorrectly) looked at the environmental impact of cars in their entirity, not just emissions (e.g. where parts came from, how they were manufactured etc, even how far the assembly workers had to travel to work). Range rovers absolutely thrashed cars like the Prius. Will try and find the full article.
