Toyota notes that the CNW Marketing Research conclusions appear to be very different from the results of several other scientifically-reviewed studies of the lifecycle impact of vehicles (e.g. those of the US Argonne National Laboratory and Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which conclude that 80-85% of the total lifetime energy use of a vehicle comes from its use, with the remainder coming from the manufacturing and disposal stages, whereas the CNW study shows these ratios to be reversed. . . ."

At last!
