If I have learned anything from my time in the auto industry its that they do not like to take risks, even calculated ones. Fortunately there is pressure from all sides coming that will require more efficient means of transportation.

They are starting to realize that there are greater gains in reshaping automobiles than continuing to tweak an antique power supply, the internal combustion engine.

I'm just wondering how long it will be before some of these concept cars start showing up with three wheels, tadpole style?

It's funny, you know they know what their doing, yet they are so slow to leak it out.
