Green beliefs?
NOTHING is greener than reusing an older car!
Having them build a new car for you every 4 years like most drivers, and trading in hybrids which are not standardized yet, etc. really is not very green.
Running a 20 year old car is far more green than having them make a new volt for you.

CHRIS, ANYCHANCE YOU HAVE A SPARE OF THESE LAYING ANYWHERE? I needs a backup plan in case Murphy's law comes calling.

Well, in terms of manufacting and reduced use of materials maybe. Truth is though, the 300ce does not have the cleanest exhaust and it is a little heavy on the gas consumption at times.
The Smart remedies both of these conditions and is almost 100% recyclable to boot.

Mostly, I like the opinion I stated, so I choose to believe it.
But run a Volt for 10 years then recycle it and you've kicked enviro-tail.

There are standards for materials that help them to be remanufacturable/recyclable that Mercedes took into consideration when choosing the materials for the car. Also, the whole exterior body panels can be exchanged and are then remanufactured/recycled.
And yes, we are capable of recycling nearly any material we just choose to be short-sighted and lazy. I won't argue the flaws of human beings.

I stumbled across this thread by looking for Removing Side markers for the w204 and I sat here and read 1 - 50 pages of this thread and i can't believe it's still up Lol.
Let's just say some of the things i've read on here are very interesting.
Question for Chris D.
You are a photographer right?

Speaking of VWVortex, may I ask a favor of you Matt?
If you happen across any dubber selling a set of the 16" CLK320 Forged wheels for reasonable, could you shoot me the info? I'm having a bear of a time finding them for cheap or at all and I know most of our sets ended up on dubs so..
