If we all agree that turbo cars are less reliable long term, then how do the new 2017 models stand a chance in lasting 20-40 years or more?
constant rebuilds? jack stands? anyone have a thought? |

All this leads me to believe that the end of the internal combustion engine is slowly but surely approaching. I know nobody wants to hear that but I believe it is happening. VW will be forced to build more electric driven cars. Tesla is working on a new affordable model. Expect to see a steady increase in battery efficiency. I'll be 70 in a few months so I don't expect to see much of the transition in my life time but it will happen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
