Oh well they will force you to drive such cars with the fuel cost going up, more restriction on emissions, taxes for high polluting cars, taxes for powerful vehicles... Looks at what is happening here in Europe.
BMW is forced to produce cars like the i3 or i8 because they need to create the know-how of building cars with different type of fuels, or in 10 years they will buy the necessary technologies from other carmakers.




Btw the i8 seems to be a wonderful looking car, it's a huge wast they don't build a normal version.
If they putted an high power M engine in that carbon fiber beauty it could have been a rival for Audi R8, the new Gallardo or the McLaren 12c.
