neither of those cars would suit my purposes
but if i were to choose i'd sure pick the vette [a second car toy]
a vw pick-up equipped with a 4cyl supercharger and turbo, tickles my fancy [twin charger]
quality, practical, excellent on fuel, and got the power in reserve
hybrids have always been a huge fail in my book, but maybe with better battery technology, they might improve

The day of the driverless car is coming (one day, in the future); the day of the driverless, non-fossil-fuelled car is coming.
The day is coming (sometime in the future) when people will be prohibited from actually taking manual control of their cars.
On that day we can cheer and wave farewell to rev-head, hoon drivers who do burnouts in our driveways or dangerously who cut us off or tailgate us while revving their engines.
Sounds like a cool sort of future to me.
Cars are for transport or for haulage.
I've even seen 4wd RV-type vehicles on the road sporting low profile tyres, transporting their so very uncool drivers to bogan-land no-wheres-ville.
