Good points about the sound of a V8, and the feel of shifting through gears..................if you are an enthusiast. Which is a small % of the population. Compare how many Corvettes are sold vs Toyota Camry. And in the Vettes, look further to how many are manual transmissions.

I am not saying I disagree with you, because personally I feel the same way about a car (although I am partial to the sound of the 6 cylinder in my Porsche). But we are a small (and shrinking) % of the auto market.

Electric vehicles will have a growing market share in the future. If they get the batteries figured out.

I think it would be great to run all the urban hipster downtown vehicles on batteries, but sht man, I'm in my early 40s and if there's a day I can't drop the hammer on a big V8 or diesel and can't rip thru a powdery meadow on a tank of C12, take a ride across the lake with a warmed up small block pushing me or go jeepin in Ouray because there's no plug in on Engineeer Pass..........just plant my arse in the dirt!!
