The Detroit motor show has seem the worlds car makers unveil the new eco friendly cars that they hope we will buy with our ever more precious savings. The only problem is that we don't want them...they are ugly (see above) and they are 'green' in name only.These vehicles are made and sold only because governments and pressure groups have threatened the manufacturers with dire consequences if they don't hitch themselves to the eco bandwagon. Given the right incentives not threats, cars will appear in the next decade that will probably be powered by hydrogen fuelled engines...cars attractive enough for the consumer to actually want to buy, not these hideous square blocks of batteries on wheels.
