Pointless cars

[Calleman]

The mighty Gwiz! It destroys the fun in a car! You charge it for a day and then have a 10 min ride to the store and then charge it again :) AND its not that safe either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pethi045NjI

^^ i was spending 10 min tinking of another supercharged car than the S7 but apperently i am slow minded :D

 

But atleast admit that my idea was good :) (Not stolen from Top Gear... ;))

Edited now! ^^

Lol, Hybrids are pointless imo. Take the LS600h, V8 engine with a hybrid. The V8 kind of cancles out the hybrid xD

I mean, putting a hybrid badge on an Escalande is just being an egoistic asshole - you change your clothes but you still are an asshole.

[zo6dude]

Whats wrong with an Escalade?

[Car Freak]

Um, everything about it?

[Shy Guy]

The only reason they keep it is because they sell, like redvette/pinkbeetle said earlier, the hybrid is to get the tree huggers to shut up.

It has the word "Hybrid" proudly put on the side of it...:facepalm:

Actually, the main reason is that if your name is Paris Hilton and you want to have a big SUV, which makes you feel powerful (doh!) but you still want to show to the whole world, that you do care about the nature's future, you can get one of these and go to the first party you get invited in it, so medias can see you drive a hybrid and write about it everywhere...

Hybrids are the worst stop gap in automotive history. I don't think people want to hear my hydrogen > Diesel > Full Electric > Petrol > Hybrid rant though.

 

Well to be honest its not as bad as bio-fuels.

 

As to pointless cars, mmm, how about any concept car?

Uhh Wasnt This Already Posted???

[KoenigseggBG]

I see nothing wrong with re-discussing it, it's on-topic, I believe...

[zo6dude]

I meant a normal Escalade, I agree that a Hybrid Escalade is pretty dumb.

This car looks like the worst MB ever! "THE F500 CONCEPT"

[Car Freak]

Yeah, Merc have made some pretty crappy concept cars recently... What IS that thing though?

[Impala SS]

Yeah I really don't know. :)

Bio fuels are better than hybrids by far!

 

science teaches us that elements can neither be created or destroyed, using oil grown from plants means that the carbon from the plants is being released into the air that it came from, wheras traditional fuel is carbon that has been under the ground for millenia, and emitting it from an exhaust imbalances the ratio of carbon in the atmosphere. if we could create biodiesel/ethanol efficiently enough then we wouldnt run out of it.

 

Hybrids however run on petrol, so that's already exhausting a limited resource, and then you have the process of creating it, which requires obscure elements that have to be mined and shipped from across the earth. (I can't remember where I read it but due to the complex manufacture you could buy a Grand Cherokee and a prius, and only after 3 years would they reach the same carbon footprint because of the carbon used in manufacture)

 

also they're twice as expensive as diesels, and most diesels (particularly VAG ones) will take veggie oil natively. (infact, the original patent was designed to run on peanut oil)

 

I personally am waiting for Hydrogen
