That Smell, Greg, is Our Sh!T

The knock on electric vehicles is that they are about as stylish and attractive as the people most likely to drive them. So I guess not all that good looking. But here to put a sexy name to next generation vehicle technology are two German companies.

VW is poised to introduce a car powered by human exrement. Poop. Doo doo. You get it. Now read about it here and look at pics below.



More surprisingly, Porsche is stepping into the game with a Hybrid Cayenne. Apparently, the car suffers from some ugly step child syndrome, but at least anyone who drives a Prius won't be able to make fun of you. It doesn't look all that different from the standard issue Cayenne, but I never found that car particularly attractive either.



But what makes a Porsche a Porsche is exactly what makes it a gas guzzler in the first place. Is anyone really going to want to drive a slower, worse version of an already slow-by-Porsche standards Porsche? Not one that costs $120k plus. Still, the electrification (or poop-i-fication) of transport is a positive step and one that I fully support.
