Meh, that thing sucks the fun out of driving.

Yet it brings in new ideas.

Ingenious engineering. Talking about environmentally friendly!! Lovely concept and yes, BORING!!! But that may very well be the future of cars.

Soooo. I agree that that car is very boring. But you strip off that minivan looking body, throw on something that looks like the BMW VISION Concept and you have a very different story.

I think there will always be daily drivers and there will always be sweet exotics. They will just be different from today's vehicles. The VISION's an electric/diesel hybrid. But BMW is also working on a hydrogen platform for future cars as well.

Should be interesting.
