In less than 7 years, Mercedes-Benz plans to ditch petroleum-powered vehicles from its lineup. Focusing on electric, fuel cell, and biofuels, the company is revving up research in alternative fuel sources and efficiency.

Hmm..

Mercedes still makes cars? huh, i hadn't even noticed.

Maybe they decided to reevaluate their target market and start making electric Maybach golf carts for retirement communities.

Good for them! Let's hope it catches on.

Now, if they could create a car that ran on the owner's undeserved and over-inflated sense of self worth, they'd have a real performer!
