Defender

http://www.topgear.com/blogs/drives/027-land-rover-defender/

cause a Defender can last many decades, it's greener and has less
impact on the environment than a lot of other vehicles.

Cars built of simple materials like the Defender and the Jeep Wrangler
cost less to make, recycle and dispose of than a Toyota Prius.

You have to look at the whole life cycle of a vehicle and not just
fuel consumption and 'refinement' before making ill informed and rude
comments.
