Is that all... to think they are only at the exploratory stage is really poor. The shortage of fuel has been on the horizon for ages, the impact of cars on the environment has been known for years..... so why haven't they got a series of prototypes or even something ready for production. This is really disappointing from such a big manufacturer. It really proves that many of the big car manufacturers aren't really interested in the environment as it doesn't make them enough money today.
I know that at the moment "plugp-in" technology is expensive, but it is going to remain so until big manufacturers take the plunge and go for it, making it accessible to more people. They are reliant upon the true greenies who have to have a car (although most REALLY green people would probably say that you don't have to have a car) to use these hybrid kits, therefore reducing cost of them. I can't see that being the most successful route. Toyota and HOnda have started on the hybrid route, but even they aren't keeping up with demand and the cars are too expensive for most.
Ford's view is definitely disappointing

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
Does anyone have an answer to this? Should someone stick with an older car (5 years+) or by a hybrid.
The former produces more "running polution" but means less "waste" during disposal and manufacturing, where as the latter means a new car is made, but better day to day....
Interesting dilema
