@Shadowguitar: But hydrogen is worse than electric. You either produce it from fossil fuel, or use a lot of electricity to split water molecules. Instead put the fossil fuel in your ICE tank or recharge batteries with the electricity and cut out the expensive hydrogen middleman. Hydrogen is at best a faraway…

@Decisive: This movement toward more complicated is better... KISS fellas

@1000songs: But equally, you're not taking into account the energy used to get the diesel into your tank (e.g. extract it, refine it, truck it to the gas station). Most well-to-wheel studies conclude electric vehicles win even with the current USA mix of electricity generation. I agree 40+mpg turbodiesels have their…

@ThreeLitre: You're right that putting batteries in a compact car for such a small MPG gain is lame. Unless you spend a lot of time motionless in traffic there's no hybrid payoff.

@Travis Jones: Apart from shutting off at a standstill, and probably slightly better city fuel economy than a Cruze/Aveo, there's no magical hybrid benefit to this car.

@zeeboid: It's a big Internet, you'll always be able to find corroborating evidence for your minority mindset. But briefly,

@zeeboid:

@zeeboid: I was quoting *YOUR* 5% number back at you. Denialists love to use the science to point out that humans have a small effect on climate (correct) without understanding that humanity's small effect IS the current and predicted rise in temperature. "Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would…

The fantastic BMW Vision has the same beveled side door heavily recessed off the belt line, but it is completely transparent and actually opens. There has been some evolution in concept cars.

@bugattatra: Yup in Jalopnik's "Top Ten Best Wedge Car Designs Of The 60s, 70s and 80s", half are Italian (this was #6).

@Rupunzell: Some of those sequences are dreamlike - at 0:57 there's a car directly ahead perpendicular to the driver yet going the same way.

@zeeboid: All those other factors you mention are why the Earth's climate isn't like the moon. The key change in industrial times is the rapid and unprecedented increase in greenhouse gas concentrations to levels not seen in the last 100,000 years.

@screemname: *SIGH* yourself.

@screemname: Your statements are wrong or irrelevant and don't even rise to the level of argument.

@screemname: You're wrong about the IPCC "Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis"

@screemname: Uh, I never said "the answer is to move ALL our transportation onto the largest emitter of CO2". But since you mention it, moving where the CO2 is made does make sense, because on a well-to-wheel basis electricity is a more efficient and thus less polluting way of moving a vehicle. Even with the USA's…

@Wyss, @Ray Wert: C'mon, at least give us a napkin sketch from memory!

@1991Brougham: I thought the six-passenger 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood at 225 inches was big, but that 233-inch Talisman is gargantuan! Fleetwood 60 Special chassis FTW.

@PHIL: I loved the previous-generation CTS in "Matte 'Gold' Hardigree" champagne gold. Cadillac wants to be all Euro tech with the silver grays, but from the CTSs and DTSs I see, movin' on up ex-pimp rolled gold is still very popular.

@FrankRizzo: How can you simulate -5 G from a pseudo stationary platform?
