Its sad to see the Japanese and the Europeans taking the lead in new technologies but I am happy to see that someone is seriously addressing the alternative fuel sources stratagem. Seven years is a very ambitious plan and I hope they are willing to make the investment to implement such a plan and that its just not lip service designed as a PR stunt .
Good for them. Hopefully this news drives other car manufacturers to have a similar goal so they arent left in the dark. I'm sure this will drive U.S. car companies to just make larger SUV's with the logic of now they'll be more oil available for their cars...
They'll back off this by 2012. They'll offer the non-gas versions as options, feature them prominently in marketing, but you'll be able to go to a dealer and get a V6 or V8 in any model you want.
Why can't they make that, only in a hybrid or whatever. Why do the green cars have to look so lame? EDIT: I guess there is the Tesla and the Fisker.
I see gm making flex fuel cars and trucks,but the question I have is where I buy any other type of fuel other than gas? as of now, we really need the gov to step up and make some of these oil companies start offering other types of fuel. it says flex fuel on the decal but as of now its only cosmetic.
No, we don't. If there's enough demand for infrastructure of a particular type, it will be built cheaper and faster without government intervention.
