Modern Marvels "Future of Cars"

Anyone see this? I have been home sick most the week and watched this today. Pretty interesting. Talked about hybrids and flying cars, hydrogen fuel cells, etc.

Then it showed Daimler testing a quote, "500 horsepower diesel" in a Dodge Ram called the Contractor Special. It was a hybrid diesel/electric that had 110 AC outlets in a panel on the rear of the bed, SWEET!

Then they talked about biodiesel and a guy that was going cross country on it in his 3rd gen. Narrarator REALLY ticked me off when he said "Dodge Cumming powered pickup." Errrrrrrrrrr!

Anyway, cool!
