I guess I should get the ball rolling too, so here's what I think: Intensified urban areas, curbed sprawl, transit-centric transportation corridors (which means streets with right-of-ways and increased priority for rail/bus/subway transit), high speed rail links between cities (especially in countries with large land areas (cough US/Canada)), and less oil-dependent automotive technologies. Burning fossil fuels is so 20th century. It's all a little pie-in-the-sky right now, but I envision a future with my above points, as well as alternatively powered vehicles in everyone's driveways. Wind farms, solar fields, more nuclear power (which can turn into another debate, however I am complete for it).
Anyway, as far as cars themselves are concerned, North America, along with the rest of the world, really needs to see a more European model adapted. Hell, even Europe can adapt an intensified European model too. Either way, I think we're at the tipping point between the past, and an entirely different future.

i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.
