I'm a gearhead, and frankly even that modest VW has me convinced electric cars have a future. "A" future. Not THE future. yet... The instant torque is amazing too, even on my comparatively crappy car. King of 0-40 in the city....

"A future, not THE future"--I like that. At least I'm fairly confident that fossil fuels will be in use well past the time when my driver's license will be wrested from my cold dead hands.
Electric cars are very cool to me, but they don't have that magic--that soul--that only an IC engine can deliver.
