Re: 65MPG Ford
The ford won't be here likely due to red tape in the US, that isn't in Europe. Hybrids are neat in theory, but have no long term value. The SVX is ~15 years old, and still competes with modern automobiles. I'd love to see a hybrid that is 15 years old. "Oops, time to replace the battery for $3000 on my car that is worth $2000." No thanks. Modern cars are not being built for the long haul, and it seems very unlikely they will live past the 15 year mark, where-as there's currently dozens of types of cars that are on the road that age or older.
All they need to do is figure out cold fusion, and all of our cars will get 200,000,000mpg, craft them from titanium and they'll last forever, and we won't need new cars for 300+ years.
