That is very cool, high tech and the direction of the future but I would have a hard time giving up my V8. I guess for me that would be my DD and the vette on the weekends. Olcrusty the oil company's will most likely buy up the resources needed for the car and still screw us in the end

Fantastic
This car is the wave of the future. It also shows Gm has always been the leader of new technology. I had a Oldsmobile Toronado trofeo . An 88 I believe. while they had their electrical issues they had technology you never saw from any other maker. That computer was so cool! Thats why I love GM vehicles!

I'm just waiting for an auto manufacturer and a video game developer get together. It'll be cool to plug in a playstation controller to drive a car...could literally have a back seat driver

Interesting technology. I would love to see some of the other bodies that would be interchangeable. That would be cool to be able to go from sedan to sports car with unscrewing a few bolts and dropping a new body on.

A sports car isn't defined by just seating two and nice lines. Well, a real sports car anyway, sure, there's always the Miata.

I agree with what you are saying about a sports car. I was thinking that they could put a killer engine and suspension in the vehicle and then depending on what body is in place would depend on how the car performs. With this vehicle being so heavily dependent on software, I figure it could be programmed differently for each body type. Just imagining what could be.

This Hy Wire is pretty awesome, hope they get it to market alot quicker than the 10-20 years. Hydrogen is the way of the future.

They Hy-Wire debuted at the NAIAS in 2002. It is the "car of the future" in the same way bubble cars were the car of the future in the '60s. GM has clearly already gone in a different direction, pouring all their energy into the gas-electric Volt.
Personally, barring some baseless government mandate, I think the car of the future is pretty much like the car of today. Gas powered. There's no end in sight of oil from the earth.
