Blog Auto Review

This entry is really just a hypothetical one the vehicle I am going to describe doesnt exist yet but is a amalgamation of features, technology, and motive force that I want in a vehicle to replace my current 2001 Volkswagen Jetta GL I understand that many of these things are restricted by costs, supply, demand, and economies of scale but then again this is only a theoretical possibility.

Constantly I am looking at new technology and I have an obsession with efficiency I look over the small details such as variable geometry oil pumps or solenoid actuated intake manifold valves. Features like these are extremely important to me because it shows a dedication to engineering and the pursuit of less fuel consumption, less emissions. 

Electrification also plays a large part in what I look for in my next vehicle. I want a system that focuses on capitalizing on the strengths of the electric motor which is instant torque from 0 rpms yet then takes a back seat to the greater efficiency efficiency of internal combustion engines for maintaining speed over long distance. The ability to plug in and have a full electric range is also important because for my personal life style I am either driving less than 40 miles or I am driving hundreds of miles. The ability to use no fuel during the week and save that money for road trips and other leisure activities would be invaluable.

Connectivity is also a keyword for me in my next vehicle. The ability to take the Web with me and make it available to my passengers is extremely important. I travel quite a bit and decreasing the stress and confusion that comes with traveling to a new city is very important. During long trips WiFi capability is important to allow passengers to stay relaxed especially my Fiance who loves to live stream video; she is my main travel partner. Music live stream services like Pandora and the latest US release of Spotify would be a valued asset for someone like me who can spend hours on the road as well. 

Advanced drive-train technology, electrification, plug-in ability, and advanced connectivity technology are the keywords for my next car. This should be wrapped in a compact, sleek, and refined package that exudes a sense of confidence without being flashy or in your face. This mental exercise into the realm of the theoretical is a facsimile of the perfect form of personal transportation for me. I look forward to the future of the automobile and the continuation of car culture. Hopefully more and more of this can become integrated into new cars from every automaker.
