4. does not make any sense (especially considering your quite sensible 1-3) beyond: "I like it, therefore it should be so! Let's have the masses take care of the environment so we can have more fun on the expense of it."
I think if wasteful petrol performance cars are banned or at least prohibitively taxed it would open up a lot of innovation to get fun cars (or driving experiences real or virtual) to the market.
Don't get me wrong, I like the thrill of a performance car too, but I can't take this line of reasoning seriously if we are talking about tens of thousands of premature deaths a year of pollution in London alone let alone the much bigger environmental topic.
