Gave the Cooper a quick wash/detail to make it look all pretty again (interior/exterior) and boy it is amazing how much plastic there is in them new cars today. Door panels dash glove box etc etc and under the hood it is not any better. Engine Covers Air filter housing tubes pipes locks etc etc. I guess ever piece of plastic will help to increase the MPG but also will probably break sooner as Alu or good old metal like in the old days. I start to wonder how much more plastic we can cramp into new cars.:|:|
