Ha, this is the Dacia I remember from 20 years ago living in Hungary. It was based on the Ranualt 15, it was a brand new car that was designed 20 years before. Things were a lot different 20 years ago and they will be a lot different 20 years from now.
I don't think I could ever live without an internal combustion engine, that's why I like my sportbikes so much. This quote sums up perfectly how I feel:
"....and here we see the automotive enthusiast in his natural habitat. The enthusiast is a noisy creature, feeding off of the energy gained by telling all within earshot that what he thinks makes a car ‘good’ is a universal and unassailable truth. Sadly, since this creature is completely blind to the fact that fewer and fewer of his kind exist, the enthusiast is currently listed as ‘Vulnerable” by the IUCN and may soon be moved to the ‘critically endangered’ list."
