Ah, I couldn't afford a 75 in Europe so I bought a few Alfasud Sprint Veloce. What cars, the baby GTV6s of their time. The 159 is still a reference to me. People who point at the quality and reliability issues of Alfa Romeos should be reminded that in the 80s there weren't a lot of cars that were reliable. As far as the problems I've seen on them, they were mostly due to people who didn't warm up engines properly and didn't change oil as frequently as they should have. They were a performance engines and had to be treated as such.

As far as battery manufacturing, well anything pollutes, even us breathing air. Disposal is almost completely recyclable these days and you can always use them as local storage. Hydrogen is a tricky thing and is also a by-product of petroleum refineries. No wonder petroleum companies push so hard for it.

You're right, people will dictate the market in the end based on their needs. A recession has the uncanny ability to make people choose what they need, not so much what they wish for.
