After listening to the car makers begging for money, I got to thinking what type improvements would make me buy a car in the next few years? What would you like to be able to buy?

I have been waiting a long time for my flying car....I was promised to have one by the 2000's by the Jetsons!!! I want it!!! and it better be Green as hell....I don't want any emmisions.
Honestly...they have to change the entire car industry to make this all work...we HAVE the technology, but they are all in the GAS peoples pockets and will not switch over to other alternative solutions to fueling new cars. It's political and I hate it! It is my fervent hope that they are given this money under condition that we see a whole new indutry and it would create jobs. This is my hope at least...we'll see, what in fact, happens.

Oooh... flying cars!

Ideally, I'd love to see public transit improve to the point where it's reasonable for more people to use it. And I completely agree with you on the subject of gas and oil. In my mind, the only way for the US to stop being dependent on foreign oil is for the US to reduce its dependence on gasoline and oil, period, no matter what its source. One of the more interesting points that T. Boone Pickens makes is that it's not at all unreasonable to shift passenger cars to alternative fuel sources - we have the technology to make non-gasoline powered motors that will move passenger cars. If we shifted passenger cars to alternative fuels and reserved gas/petroleum products for industrial/commerce use (i.e. - 18-wheelers, etc) we'd come substantially closer to being able to supply our own petroleum fuel needs.

There's supposed to be one coming out in a year or so, called Volt. It uses no gas at all for about 40 miles, then switches to an alternating gas and electric thing. Since I rarely go more than 15 or 20 miles in the car (mass transit from there), I'd love that!

Now if it were available in a hot little convertible, that would be a dream!
