In truth if you want to be environment / green friendly ,an old beater 1969 Suburban is better then buying a new vehicle of any kind. !!!
(That catches a lot of peo by surprise )
I always thought this ....... But to confirm it, there was brake dwn of all things.
From the manufacture of the new car to scrapage of old cars because people trade them in
So the energy to make a new car from scratch, ship it to you and you drive it.
Better off keeping the beater energy wise
