The simple fact is that the agency's would be like our police here where they DO drive rather heavy large displacement V8 engines & the rest of us tend to lean more & more towards the hybrid style.

Subject: Re: [SkunkworksAMA] The future
JMH always said that although the calendar 'year' was earlier for the Caterwaul universe, that their society and technology was further advanced than ours. It just didn't seem to extend to the cars, as the characters always seemed to be driving "60's earth style" muscle cars powered by large V8 engines.
I suspect Jim just liked muscle cars. I'd always envisaged small displacement multi-cylinder engines in the future, but complications for manufacture and losses through too many moving parts means that electrical is probably going to be the way of the future.
