Replying to: backy (Oct 24, 2008 9:13 am) While we are at it, who is going to be the first to make 'em fly??? How's that for revolution....  Everything else you mentioned is evolution BTW...

Replying to: backy (Oct 24, 2008 1:32 pm) Yeah, I worded it a little funny. After I read what I wrote, it was too late to edit it. Know of any mid-sized sedans that get close to 100 mpg with world-class handling? Well, you did mention hybrids and other technologies that already exist. So, an improvement on those systems is evolutionary. World class handling? I guess that is a subjective question. Unless there is a totally new type of suspension to come out, anything that we may see in the future is evolutionary, meaning evolving from current technology. The closest thing to "revolutionary" that is about to hit the market is the Chevy Volt. Currently, there is no mass produced vehicle like that on the road that uses a gasoline engine for the only purpose of charging the battery, and the battery is used as the main source of power to the engine. I would say the Honda FXC is another, however, there are numerous rumors that the FXC will not go into mass production. The 1st gen Prius and 1st gen Insight were revolutionary almost 10 years ago.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 24, 2008 5:29 pm) I don't know the number sold but I'd consider the Civic GX mass produced.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Oct 24, 2008 9:51 am) Side note, I can't believe the Honda Accord only gets 3 stars from rear side...

Replying to: biker4 (Oct 24, 2008 6:26 pm) I would say the Civic GX is mass produced too. While there are not a lot available, you can actually go to a dealer and request one.

Replying to: joe97 (Oct 24, 2008 8:42 pm) I agree with you about the Accord and the rear crash test. I'm a little surprised about that. |
