Default Think 2020

Ok, its has been a looooong time since I posted here, but I need your help.

Think 2020

For my graduation project I have to design and develop a powertrain concept for the year 2020. For inspiration I would like to ask you what kind of powertrain you think will be available in 2020 and what you would like to buy. Do we all drive in fuel cells or do we still drive on gasoline, or something completely different.

The powertrain will be for a VW Golf / Ford Focus / Honda Civic type of vehicle and needs to be sustainable (environmentally friendly, economical) and cool (quit a challenge).

Powertrain could consist of:
- Fuel cell
- combustion engine
- electric motors
- automatic transmission
- stickshift
- hybrid
- other

What's your opinion on modularity? For instance that you could specify your own powertrain (Golf GTi engine with some electric motors so that you have low fuel consumption for daily use) or no motors and batteries because you want your car to be light.
