Autocar: Subaru plotting electric BRZ to bring sports coupe back to Europe

Don't quote me on it, but Europe very actively tries to ban internal combustion completely, to a vengeful degree. In fact, no alternative to electrification was considered, regardless of its viability or promise. The future of what powers cars in Europe very nearly looked like it would be electric-only, until Germany, Italy, and another country or two vetoed that decision and, with a little lobbying from one Mercedes Benz I believe, it was decided that liquid combustible fuels will be allowed in the future, as long as they are completely carbon neutral. This is a completely political move. Caring about the environment is good. **Fighting to protect the environment** ***is good.*** Fighting for the thing your advisors told you is going to make you look good, not considering the alternatives, isn't good. And on top of that, Europeans grow more and more distant from the automobile. The truth is, the majority of people don't care about cars, and good public transport, cycling roads and walkable cities are far better for the average person. Europe tries to head that way.
