What commercial "eco-car" developments are you anticipating or following?
I'm a bit of a car blog junkie, regularly following
GCR,
ABG &
Jalopnik (always entertaining).
TTAC as well.
Recently, the biggest news I'd been following was the unveiling of the
2016 Prius (see our thread), as well as first reviews of the
2016 Chevy Volt. Of course, let's not forget the
ongoing Elio saga, which has a lot of people watching (and vigorously speculating).
Coming up, I can think of a few things that have my attention:
1) Updated Mirage: Mitsubishi is unveiling a "refreshed" (2017 model year for North America) version of the hatchback in L.A. tomorrow, still the most efficient ICE vehicle available on this side of the pond. We already know it's getting a styling facelift, and rumour has it they've addressed suspension tuning too (two of the most frequent criticisms about the car). The "out in left field" rumour is a 2.0L performance option.
2) Tesla Model 3: supposedly, the design of Tesla's "affordable" mass market electric car is going to be
revealed in March, 2016. Not too far away.
3) Nissan Leaf: the next generation version of the world's best-selling EV should be previewed sometime next year as well, for the 2017 model year.
What did I miss? What else is on the efficient-car calendar that you're waiting for? Post anticipated dates, if they're known.
