Aesthetics

Comment comment by Bortnyk on 25 October 2005

Alternative fuel cars will not really take off in America until either a. price per gallon of fuel exceeds 5$ or b. an alternative fuel SUV and pick up truck is developed.

RE: Aesthetics by romanizzo :: NR6

Well, you could always take a poke at the hybrid Silverado for starters. Realistically, I don't care what makes it go, as long as it goes, and I can throw a dead deer in the back. If hydrogen is cheaper, I'll take hydrogen. If I can affordably buy a hybrid pickup for hauling scuba gear, that'll work too.

I don't think that anyone is going to hang on to a pure IC engine just for the sake of Henry Ford's legacy. When it becomes economically impractical, I will switch to something new. (Which I really already have, my truck barely leaves the garage anymore.) But for most Americans to make the move its going to have to be comfy, shiny, and fast.
