Hybrids and full electric cars are becoming more and more of a practical reality. The world has seen some serious climatic changes in both the weather and the state of the worlwide financial marketplace. Although we may not realise it, these changes have serious implications for the Caribbean countries and not just those nations that are regulars on BBC and CNN.
The good news is probably that we are all accustomed to recession measures which have been in a state of constant development over the last few decades. Perhaps we are still learning how large-scale income should be managed in the long term. Changes are typically more sweeping than ever before and on a necessarily grander and larger scale. Our larger islands are now faced with a serious traffic problem. Measures such as highways, water taxis, an expanded bus system and greater usage of motorcycles are now being explored. Despite the recent hard times everyone still wants their own car, and hence sales are still looking up. We’ve got the latest ‘high performance traffic’ on every road from the beach to the mall, to school and to work. God bless email and couriers.
With all this in mind, we’d like to recommend that everyone sell their old cars for salvage and get Porsches and a scooter instead! Lifestyle Motors has finally launched the 911, and Porsche has announced the global arrival of the four-door Panamera. Despite all this launching, they are still managing to seize control of the VW Group which obviously says that the engineers have a great cost-to-profit ratio. They are keeping the core Porsche experience fully intact in their lineup.
So, it’s a plan... a 911 and a 125cc scooter. Or should we skip those and get a Tesla electric instead? Or perhaps our local version, the ANT electric? We’ll take a closer look in the next issue of Zorce!
