    I know you'll all call me an extreme optimist, but i'm still hoping that the auto market picks up like crazy and my favorite makers make a comeback (i.e. HUMMER and Isuzu). Also, technology would need to make leaps and bounds. It ticks me off that a 100mpg electric H3 was ready for market and they still were forced to shut it down.

    You have to remember to take these reports with a grain of salt. First most of these are experimental and do not meet safety specs. Toyota just got a lawsuit decided against them for reporting 50 mpg on one of their cars that really got above 34 mpg. The govt allows higher mpg results for doing extra crap that does not affect mpg. Given the Hummers size I cant imagine they could get 100 mpg especially with an extra motor. Also I wouldnt look at an electric car unless they have a few hundred mile cruising trip. Currently the reports of range on the electrics are far higher than they get in real world situations. I would hate to run out of electricity and have to do a 10 hour fill up.
