Man I love my '05 Ford Mustang, but everytime I head to the pump I cringe. My car slurps down gas, like its going out of style and this bothers me. I love the performace of my car, I enjoy having all that power beneath my right foot, but I feel guilty for not having a more fuel efficient car.
The new Loremo has plenty of fuel economy, 150 miles to the gallon kind. Thats rediculous! You can travel from New York to Los Angeles and only stop for gas 3 times. ...and its affordable at $22,000. However there is no performance, with stats like 0-60 in 15 seconds i'm unimpressed (they will be releaseing a GT model that has more performance 0-60 in 10 seconds for $30k). I really want to jump on the fuel economy band wagon, really I do. ...but I gotta wait for something that has the same feel as driving my Mustang.
It does make me wonder though how will hybrids and hydrogen fuel cars affect the muscle car. Mustangs, Corvette's, etc are known for the purr of their engines, the way the car vibrates. The muscle (or simply sports) car manufacturers spend lots of money to make sure that when a Mustang owner opens up the throttle they are rewarded with the roar that everyone is familiar with. Will the performace of current sports cars be able to transfer over the fuel efficent technologies of tomorrow?
