i just like that burg blamed the eBoxster on CAFE standards. however the US's CAFE standards are lower than almost all other first-world countries. not to mention the auto manufacturers are not complaining anymore. plus i know he doesn't like the President so i thought i'd poke his goat a little.
as an aside, as i've said many times i have no issues with the theoretical exploration of purely electric cars.
but, i don't think they're viable at the current time because they are very limited in range and still have to get their power from somewhere. so we offload the emissions from a tailpipe to a smokestack. seems to be shortsighted.
i'm all for exploring the technology, but i don't like auto manufacturers trying to push electric cars as the solution. if i want a car to go 25-miles a day and sit overnight to recharge, a boxster would not be my first choice. however, some of the technology should filter down to future cars (not just p-cars) to make things more viable.
