    Fuel cell, you've got to be kidding. What a waste of research and development!

    I'll be driving a converted electric car. Why a converted car? because the auto industry will still be pointing fingers in ten years, and the only electrics available will be those people convert themselves. Maybe there will even be a way to set it up as an electric hybrid with backup power provided by a turbine generator (as oposed to a "paralell hybrid" like a prius or "electric asisted drive" like a honda).

    I am so disapointed that Rosen Motors fell through. That was the car of the future.

    Hi All,

    Something like an on demand 4wd Prius, thats PHEV, with electric rear motor/generators. The major use of gasoline in this car will be for the Reaction Control Thrusters tied into the Vehicle Stability Control and radar controlled Enhanced Emergency decellerator, in daily commuting service. Ha!

    Or maybe the new Porshe 9EV.

    How about a Tesla EV Sedan with its 2nd Gen battery pack that will get 500 miles per charge... :unsure:
