Look at the anticipation of the engine choices for our Camaro, just on this forum alone. Who sits and dreams about lithium ions and 230 killowatt generators? 
You kill the IC engine, and the interrest in cars for people like us is lost completely. I mean, I would purposfully go out and find the biggest gas hog I could find - maybe a '72 Cadillac Fleetwood, or a Chevy Suburban 4X4 with the 454.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I would just love to buy my V8 Camaro 6 speed stick, drive it out to Washington DC, and just wait for Nancy Pellosi to walk out of the Capitol building. Then I would drive around in circles just drifting the hell out of the car to get as much smoke and gas as I could, and then yell out the window "Here's to your CAFE - stick it in your pipe and smoke it!" |
I don't disagree with you AT ALL.
but...apparently I'm an oddity in that when I see 230kw, and I know that's somewhere north of 300hp. Then I think of the massive, instant torque......Geeze, I dunno.
I do see where you're coming from, now. But whereas you don't like the idea of electrification of automobiles, I guess I do.
