Flu, I think you are mixing up mpg and mph. The article is about 60 miles per GALLON, and it looks like you are against 60 miles per HOUR (you and Sammy Haggar).
There are bunch of inventors playing with fast and efficient, so you will get both. Where it would get tricky is trucks and collectible cars, they would have to just limit it to new production passenger vehicles, and 60 mpg by 2025 is actually a bit of a disspointment. Tesla got 100mpg’s equivalent and thats just a company of a few hundred who didn;t know dick about cars. Sure they didn’t pull it off exactly as expected, but big money can make it happen, and in just a couple of years. I think our government should intervene, now that it has it’s hands in the auto industry it should put all of it’s efforts into this, we are the biggest consumer of oil. Our landscape is spread out, we would benefit the most from double or triple the mpg’s, is NASA busy right now? Hook up NASA with Apple, get me my damned iCar right now, I want it fast/sexy like a tesla and I want it run my ipod seamlessly. BTW, the Damn germans and japanese manufacturers are only now making iphone friendly cars. My Ford is like 5 years old and it had an aux jack, I’m shopping BMW’s and they didn’t even offer it till 2007, no usb till 2008 and it was an option. A car is just a thing that drives my iphone around, I want it integrated into the stero. Infiniti, lexus, Mercedes, pretty much the same deal. So that is the deal, first car maker to make a car that gets 60 mpg’s, still has room and gets chicks, while seamlessly intergrating my phone, wins.
