German expert: Even EU will go all hybrid, electric

Total Conversion by 2025?

Slowly, but surely, even performance-orientated European automakers will fully convert their fleets to hybrid cars and electric vehicles according to German automotive expert Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer. "Hybrids and electric vehicles are going to be profitable, everyone is getting quickly into the act," stated Dudenhoeffer. By 2025 Dudenhoeffer believes that all cars sold in Europe will be either hybrids or electric vehicles.

Remember my European diesel fans, hybrid vehicles can still utilize your beloved diesel engine, but change is coming.

A decade late, millions short. I honestly don't think our environment can wait around any longer for these bozos to start offering truly transforming technologies.

German cars are some of the heaviest polluters around. MB makes some of the dirtiest cars. The VW Toureg V10 TDI is the worst around. But we need to wait until 2025? Forget it...we won't have much to look forward to by then. I seriously doubt people's priorities will be about what car they want...it'll be more like what's going to happen to them tomorrow.

The Europeans have been duped into thinking diesel is better for them. It's no better than regular fuel...and much dirtier.

Too bad French cars aren't being sold here...at least they are innovative in many ways that the Germans and others clearly are not.

I don't know about you but I am extremely disappointed right now in the automotive industry...to the point that I am truly disgusted by the whole automotive thing altogether. Just watching cars go by and pissing away fuel just seems extraordinarily retarded to me now. These huge heavy turds that are extremely filthy in operation carrying a mere 5% of their own weight....just plain retarded.

I too am very disappointed, but who fills the void? I kind of covered this topic on my latest post. Check it out if you have a chance.

I think sometimes a void is required....there's nothing wrong with it. It's the natural way of resetting things and restarting.

Yes...it's going to be very painful for many people. Yes...life is going to change drastically for all of us.

But the more we resist, the worse it will get. We are simply postponing the inevitable and it'd be better if we cut our loses now and restarted think fresh.

Companies like GM got us into this huge mess. They would be the last bunch of bozos I'd count on to offer any solid solution to anything. They've never had the general public or the environment in mind and will never have it in the future. It if wasn't for what is happening now, don't think for a moment that these idiots wouldn't continue selling their gargantuan piles of crap.

Dahc...put your efforts and loyalty in a car company that really can make a difference. I know it's hard to give up the hope of GM making a difference but it won't. It doesn't care and while you see its sheer size as a plus, to me it's a negative. We don't have time for ships this large to turn around and take another route...it's time for this ship to sink and we need to get into the lifeboats and move away from this turd of a company as fast as possible.

You're right...most car companies don't make much difference...but GM is in complete reverse...it's going backwards. It's so far back that it's not worth keeping around.

there's no doubt GM is facing serious troubles, but are Ford or Chrysler any better off?

No they are not...but you know my stance on them too...they need to disappear too.
