Unfortunately, with us reaching "peak oil", I think the trend will be towards full electric or hybrid electric w/ diesel supplemental power. IMHO the only way traditional gas engines can continue would be if a cheaper and sustainable ethanol production model can be developed. Currently theres too much profit in staying on fossil fuel for "big oil" to put too much effort into this (for now). With that said, the Audi R18 LeMans racer with the V10 TDI is a bona-fide animal that sounds freaking awesome........and won alot of races!

My $0.02
