Whether you like it or not, the Feds have upped the ante, and unless you are willing to spend a very significant premium for your non-turbo, natural draft, high-power engine, this is where things are moving - hybrids and turbo-charging.

Thank you for saying this. I don't understand how people can say that BMW isn't doing good engineering work when they just came out with a car made predeminatly of carbon fiber for 41k.
Also the i3 is a hoot to drive, it weighs 2700 pounds and its cg is below the wheel hubs. It makes my commute fun!
