IMHO... you can keep your 150 mpg sardine cans.
I want a car I won't die in a collision with a shopping cart.
And being of an older generation that get a thrill hearing the raw muscle of a V-8 with a free flow exhaust.
Give me a 150mph car any day... if gas get too hard to come buy... I'll grow some corn and make some gas!
Better yet... why don't you wiz-kids come up with a diesel powered 150 mph car that I can burn used fry oil in
btw... having more user controlled applications for todays vehicles is a very unsafe idea... most users (they not good enough to be called drivers) are too busy text messaging their friends, chatting on the cel ph, or surfing their play list to be bothered with a little thing like signaling when they change lanes, never mind switching from gas to electric or shifting gears.
