Well, the gasoline engine is certainly obsolete for short hop driving. Even the 2-300 mile range electrics are overkill. All one really needs for the majority of urban / suburban commuting is a glorified golf cart with a 50 mile range. However, in order for that to work the road system would need some updating too. There would be roads or lanes for the small vehicles and ones for larger ones, bicycles too. Man would I love to see bicycles off the streets that cars use...
If my wife's Acura RSX wasn't paid for and got well over 30 mi./ gal. we'd swap it out for a small electric like a Leaf and keep the Outback for road trips and my work activities, which frequently involves pulling a trailer.
The 911, well that's in a different category...
