The first sighting of Paul McCartney's much talked about eco-car which made Paul 'furious' when it was flown 7,000 miles from Japan instead of being shipped by boat as he had requested.

The £84,000 Lexus LS600H produces just 219g in carbon emissions yet rather than it creating only 297kg for the three-week voyage by boat, the plane journey actually created 38,050kg of carbon dioxide.

Sir Paul was 'furious'. He received the car as a gift from Lexus and ordered the hybrid limo because it helps to reduce emissions. Sir Paul has always campaigned for green issues and he couldn't understand why anyone woud send an enormous car from Japan to Britain on a plane.

CO2balance.com said: "We couldn't believe the hypocrisy of flying an environmentally friendly car in from Japan".

If Lexus want to give me 1 for nowt i'll be happy to receive it by plane (as long as it's blue) I support the environment I even re-use carrier bags. :P

That looks ace but really, even though it was free would you choose that colour?

[aztecbandit1]

Quite like the colour of that one, but think if it was me i'd go for a nice black one if it was free :D the jammy sod

[dave1]

Any colour would do for me on a "freebie"

[Kazi]

Can't stand that p***k! As for the car, nice, but that colour is just wrong!

Actually it's hypocracy even buying one. Can you imagine how much damage was done to the environment in actually making the darn batteries, motors etc for the thing?

The only reason why governments like them is that they CAN help to reduce emissions once they are used here in this country. It all goes towards Europe trying to hit self generated targets. The fact that the manufacture of the bits which make a hybrid caused more harm than it could ever recoup is always ignored.

If he was that bothered about the environment he could have bought a bicycle! It' all about snob appeal... and bing seen to be doing the right thing. Well the right thing to do of course is walk or bike IF he was really concrned...

I bet he still has a personal jet too!

i thought it was a rx400h that he got? and also he got the leather replaced with hand stitched cloth because he was a vegetarian...
