Why are they trying to stuff all this technology into these small assed cars?
A alternative fuel car should not sacfrice space. A economy model should be no smaller than a Malibu/Ford Fusion. A crossover should be no smaller than a Ford Edge/GM envoy, a mid size should be no smaller than a Impala, a full sized SUV should be the size of an Expedition/Denali. An extra large, the size of a Navigator/Escalade.
As of right now, none of these technologies allows for performance/fuel economy/long distance journeys without being both light and aerodynamic. Sure, have your giant heavy SUV run on electricity or hydrogen, but most of the vehicle will be energy storage, and you'd still only drive 100 miles before you have to refill. Think before you type.
