    Not a big fan of ford, but i am a major fan of rally racing, so a new rs focus may be cool.

    it is true, that anyone can drive a taxi, but unlike in America all the streets here have actual names. That's why a German taxidriver has to know every single streetname so that he can get there in the fastest possible way. They are also paid by time and getting into a foreseeable traffic jam or driving only on the mainstreets when there would be a shortcut through narrow streets would be considered fraud.
    Telling a German taxidriver where he has to turn right or left is also considered insulting.

    If by “America” you meant the USA…I am sure there are cities there that have actual names too. If by “America” you meant North, Central and South…there are many cities with actual names too…I live in one…

    Back to cars…GOOD JOB PORSCHE…on realizing the stupid, absurdity of Hybrids! They are a waste of time and recourses regarding all car manufacturers. If Porsche is really thinking, they will start working on future technologies that are smart, affordable and far more eco-friendly than a Hybrid. The point is, get away from gas all together! Hybrids will keep Porsche locked to the past, plus no one buys a Porsche for fuel economy.

    What the world must come to realize is that gas will run dry one day, so making gas friendly vehicles is only delaying the inevitable. Also, if Porsche was thinking about gas-mileage to be eco-friendly, someone needs to mention to them Hybrids still have emissions and it is emissions not gas-mileage that is the problem. Although there are lower emissions from a Hybrid, there are far better technologies that have ZERO emissions.

    The Squba is based off of a Lotus / Tesla? Or a serious ripoff.

    The 78 LTD is more of a battleship than a SUB. Those old 70's wagons really needed to be christened when they left the factory. Seats 25 with enough storage on the roof for a family of four to head to wallyworld for a month, if wallyworld is open... (ok vague reference)

    ? Such as? We're waiting... Whats your grand solution to save the world?

    Electrics have been around for about 100 years now. The problem is we the consumer have turned our backs on them each & every time due to;

    1. Cost
    2. Impracticality
    3. Infrastructure

    Hybrids serve a crucial role to "Bridge" the consumer to alternatives sources of energy. Yes they have their drawbacks but they are an important stepping stone for the future.

    Whats Colleptic? All I found was:

    'Colleptic does not currently have any friends.'
