Can you blame them? When is all the talk about "green" going to stop and action start? The Japanese should be leading the way since automakers here are in unwilling & incapable. Are some of you in the market for a new NSX or something? C'mon.

I love my car & yours & fast cars in general - schit who doesn't, but we have dicked around long enough - I'd rather the s2000 carry on and run off something besides gas - a car company can make a new model car ground up every 2-3 years, but can't offer us anything other than a prius, etc. yeaaaah riiiiiight.

Just like it took a decade for airbags to get in cars, etc. That has to stop.

^ hm...I think I should chime in here. Typically it takes almost 7 years to develop a car. Trust me....I live my life working on products that I will never see in my job now. It's rediculous to ask these companies to stop what they're doing to build a car because of a trend no one saw coming. It will take time.

that is what just has me crying nobody saw this coming? Nobody wanted to. Now it's here & people are whining because Honda pulled the plug on their "go fasta" mobile. I was seeing films in elementary school about how the enviroment was going to hell in a handbasket & that was 30 something years ago eh let the next generation deal with it. Speed them up, Pete!
