Yeah, electric is probably just the technology that we could actually implement really soon. We know how to make the cars and we have a infrastructure already. Hydrogen and such still have a ways to go.I don't believe that cars are going to go completely electric, I just don't think people are going to come home and plug in their car, I just don't. I think there will be cars that run on hydrogen to fuel a generator which drives the electric motor. Honda has one out like this already called the FCX Clarity. Only available in California right now where there are hydrogen filling stations.

But either way, we need to do something so that we don't have to rely on foreign countries for oil anymore.
-Bad for the environment.
-Dangerous to the drivers of smaller cars
-Eats up the worlds precious oil supply.
Life isn't about throwing all your money around for luxury's, this causes an overall worldwide collapse of the standard of living.
That's because the brits are smart and don't drive stupidly over sized vehicles that consume huge amounts of fuel, for the main part.
</agree>Seems dangerously cheap, is it yellow and does it have three wheels?

Your family might not be bad drivers, but many other people are. If they do somthing stupid, and you end up driving into them then while it may be their fault, the chances are that they would come off MUCH worse if a big powerfull car hit them than if a smaller (more sensible?) car hit them....umm.... lets see... how about you read this: http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-main-forum/47276-prius-vs-pickup.html
Both drivers lived. And the oil supply isn't as precious as everyone makes it out to be. Its the monopoly of oil refineries and oil companies that want you to think that while they rake in more money.
And its only dangerous if you are dangerous. My family is full of competent drivers. If you are stupid enough to pull out in front of a 2.5 ton truck then you deserve whats coming at you.
But yea, its bad for the environment. That's why I wanted either a V-6 or a diesel, but w/e.
P.S. Diesel is the future, not electric. At least for the next 20 years.
