LOL Oh yeah! For Daimler to throw in the towel on internal combustion engines way before they're supposed to be outlawed in 2035/40 says it's all over bar the shouting now.:eek:

They are not the first manufacturer to say this, Volvo announced it about a year ago and I think all manufacturers on the QT have given up on the ICE. Electric is the future with a few looking at hydrogen fuel cells (Audi and Hyundai collaboration comes to mind) which I think is a better option.

Yes, electric or maybe hydrogen is the future, now all we need is for the prices to start coming down.
