But we're going to miss the e-tron just as much
But we're going to miss the e-tron just as much as the Model S: the more than $120 million E30 sedan, which won't be available until late 2017, is about as big a deal as it gets right now. We have to say we're pleasantly surprised by the e-tron's performance. And this is a luxury car by a mile, with no power-drag restrictions. It's also got zero to offer in terms of power and reliability.
"We're not sure if any of this has anything to do with the electric car concept, or if it was just an accident," says Mark Schulman, Audi's vice president of design. "It's a luxury car and we can be absolutely certain of that."
"The thing is, it doesn't have a lot of power, just a very small range," he adds. "All you have is a few extra miles for a little while, and the only thing that makes this much more expensive is the price."

That's why Audi is still going back and trying to find more people to build the Tesla. But if the e-tron's ever going to be the next big thing, it seems that the electric car has to be the ultimate luxury car.
If you want to get up close and personal with the world's most popular model, I'd suggest checking out the Tesla's official website. And if you're curious about the BMW i3, check out its new website.A report by the International Research Center in Environmental Science and Technology (IRCT) found that the US is now the world's fourth-biggest contributor to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The report, which is a joint report of the US Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management, found that by 2050, the US will contribute 586 million tonnes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. That's more than the combined global emissions of every country on Earth combined.
In addition to emissions, the report found that the US contributes nearly half of the world's greenhouse gases. The US is also responsible for almost three-quarters of global methane emissions.
"This study reveals that the US is now the world's third-largest greenhouse gas contributor," said David Pritchard, lead author of the report and a professor of biostatistics at the
