What I would like is an Elec. Mini-SUV, much like the Ford-Esacpe, but all electric! C'mon FORD!
Tesla Model S! 4 dr ,5 passenger, 0-60 <60sec, 240 miles a charge. They get the price in the $40,000 range and thats my new car!
Unless "Beg, Barrow and Plead' A.K.A. "The Big Three" or Honda manages to come up with something comparable by the time the Model S goes into production. And it better look as good! Yeah Right!
The Honda CR-Z...if....make that IF ...it looks like the concept....sporty and sleek
Overtaxing the power grids? Are you nuts? First you DUMP your gas burner... and buy an electric car (even if it's just to commute to work). Put solar collectors on your home... charge your electric car from the energy from the sun... AND... charge public service for the electricity you don't need!
Overtax the grid? Hell get OFF the grid all together!
Wish they would adapt the hybrid to vans. I need the space for infirm friends and family. Sedans sit too low for a friend that has 2 artifical knees and my 85 year old dad. We carpool for weekend outings. I take the seats out the rest of the week to move drywall and some tools. My current van is a worker and commuter. A sedan or pickup just won't fit all my needs. The van certainly does and I want only one vehicle.
10 years from now, when we run out of nickel and lithium driving the cost of replacement batteris to $20K and the landfills are poluted with old replaced batteries, I'll still be driving my pickup with domestic diesel pumped from ANWAR.
I would like any kind of car that gets great mpg, comfy seats 5-6, and can handle tall people in the $30,000 price range.
For to long I have seen trucks that seem to haul air. People buy trucks for this reason or that, but no one seems to be buying them for what they were originally built for. I haul stuff, I don't need heated leather seats, I don't need a DVD player in the rear seat for the kids, I don't need a rear seat. I need a truck, basic, simple, truck. I want it to burn less fuel, be greener, and save me money when gas jumps back to $4.00 a gallon. Problem is all the trucks on the market are trying to be cars. I feel like the manufacturers are making cars with pickup beds and trying to sell them to people for everything. It gets them around all the government standards, But it leaves the people who use their trucks for work wanting something better. I have even considered converting an older truck to electric. I have seen it done on the smaller trucks, but I haven't found a kit for a full sized four wheel drive. If I had then that would be what I was driving. The new full sized truck feel cheap, don't hold up to any hard driving, break down regularly, and get horrible fuel economy to boot. I can't get one with the options I need, unless I take a bunch of stuff I don't want. The price of that truck is ridicules. The big three say they are hurting, I wander why.
IS ANYBODY WORKING ON A FLEX VEHICLE THAT IS A BIODIESEL & PLUG-IN???
I can't wait for a Plug-in..... make it an SUV Please! I'm tired of being screwed by the oil companies! My next car will be either a Plug-in and/or a biodiesel !!
I agree with disgusted independent! Come on Americans! Sacrafice a little, our troops are doing it daily for us so you can fill up your gas hogs. Just buy an efficient, affordable vehicle that gets you from point a to point b and stop worrying about the comfort of your fat butts for the 30 minutes to an hour a day during your commute.
I want a simple nonsporty compact coupe with a manual transmission. For some reason this kind of car is out of fashion now. There are a few but there should be a better selection.
I want a gasless, roomy, comfortable, AMERICAN car. With dealer friendly, instead of customer soaking support. C'mon, Detroit, listen up and let's have a real AMERICAN car for AMERICANS Deliver us $1 worth of value for $1
My minimum requirements for my next auto purchase include an all electric sedan or SUV that can go 75 miles on a single charge at an average speed of 65 mph and that costs less than $50,000! I don't want a hybrid! All electric, no gas for me anymore!
99.99% of my daily driving is less than 50 per day and I really dig the idea of not paying for that nasty, imported, cancer-causing petrol--at $2/gal or 5$/gal, I don't want to buy that stuff anymore. I have been waiting and searching the internet for my next car for the past 2 years.
I can't believe it is taking so long to get some decent electric cars on the market. If I had the money, I'd already be driving a Telsa!
I wouldn't mind a hybrid, as long as it's done like the trains. I want a constant-running gas (or biodiesel) engine that turns a generator. That generator both sends power to batteries and to the motors. I want the electric motors in the wheels. One per wheel.
And I want it somewhere around $25,000.
since i am a car nut i prob will not buy any sort of non gas powered car unless they have the same horse power and are cheaper, other than that im stickin with my gas.
My Tesla is supposed to be here by the end of July. New solar panels are buzzing away waiting to charge it up. Just hope the company can survive long enough to delivery 629.
I'm waiting for my Tesla Roadster to be delivered at the end of July. The solar panels are installed and buzzing away waiting to charge it up. Just hope the company stays alive long enough to deliver 629.
FYI - FORD sold VOLVO in 2008 ............
You're in Easy Mode. If you prefer, you can use XHTML Mode instead. |
Iwould like it to be electric, AWD, handle like a BMW and be fast
