"The advent of direct-injection gasoline engines is largely making diesels redundant in the passenger vehicle space, so i can't fault GM's logic in placing their R&D focus elsewhere, particularly for the North American market where consumer uptake of diesels in passenger cars is not very strong.
I think the serial hybrid is a great idea, because it's scaleable as new battery technologies come online."
"Why not get a couple of LED puck lights from a dollar store and mount them under your dash as "ambient lighting" that's so popular with the kids these days?
On a more serious note, our MINI has ambient lighting in the overhead console (and in a few key places around the interior) that bathes the whole environment in soft light that's adjustable from orange through blue."
