Apparently today is day one, and so yesterday must have been day zero, and the press launch would have been day minus one. I apologise for any confusion this may have caused.

Yesterday's interesting little factoid about SUVs brings us to the question which I intend to skirt around and eventually fail to answer in this blog - is the motor industry starting to move in the right (low emissions) direction, or is the occasional bit of good news just greenwash to keep the likes of me happy whilst everyone else gets on with the serious business of getting a bigger, shinier car than their neighbours? Motor shows are supposed to give you a feel for what the cars of the near future will look like, so what sort of future is on display at the Excel centre?
