In fact... think I might ask the BBC!

I agree, surely the short hand for High Emmision Vehical should be HEV not 4x4.

Nah... they can't use HEV cuz that is the acronym for the Hazardous Environment Suit that Dr Gordon Freeman wears whilst battling various interdimensional beings... might cause some terrible confusion should he turn up to battle in a High Emmission Vehicle... won't get nearly the same protection!

monstrous sports cars

They're going to start picking on sport cars next, can see it already.

Flicking through the channels the other day & i saw the C4 thing about the richmond tax, mentioned the jaguar XK8 & MPV's as massive polluters... didnt hear "4x4" once!
