I've long been one of those detractors, assuming all motor companies were helplessly intertwined with big oil, and old school diehards of the big rumble and vroom-vroom! style car, to the point that it seemed utterly inconceivable to me, that you guys could possibly posses anything like a modicum of conscience and motive to take up the challenge of the alternative.

To waste any money at all on the development of any technology that wasn't expensive, expendable, dirty, loud and explosive enough to appease the status quo, and the masses.

But From every major manufacturer, I've seen at the very least, in the last two years, great effort to the contrary. And exceedingly expensive efforts to say the least. So rapid and effected, I must take back any ill thing I ever aimed verbally at any of you.

I have noticed that there exist many public forums to denounce the auto maker for not taking affirmative action toward an oil free solution, and virtually none to the other extreme. This is why I came here directly, to say thanks for the efforts seen thus far. I'm surprised, relieved (somewhat), and impressed.

Please FWD to the other manufactories around the world, despite the normal competiveness.

Like I said, there aren't really many forums to say thanks.
