I would stick to older cars personally because all of this nonsense is only going to get worse in the next 10-20 years.
I think my next project will be a MK6 R with the second gen (all alloy) TTRS engine. I don't really like the backwards changes on the MK7s.

It'll all be electric in 10 years and and probably all self driving in 20 years.

Nah, it won't happen that quick. The oil companies will make sure of it!
colesey:
All hybrid in 10 years and all electric within 20 are my predictions for new production. Is the cities / pollution / climate change commitments which are pushing this agenda and OPEC will have little clout. Expect more stealth taxes to make up for the losses in fuel duties.
absolute:
Can't see it happening
Think of all the backwards countries there are with loads of vehicles every day
They can't afford it

The current thinking is that the richer countries would pay for the poorer ones to move to clean energy. For example, Miami is built on porous limestone and its current bad flooding will get even worse as sea levels rise. The US has an interest in helping countries too poor to develop clean energy if they want to protect places like Miami.
