The car over the years

How far has car industry technology come in recent years? From being a luxury way back in the 1930’s to the cheap affordable way you can buy them now using car contract hire it is amazing just how far they have come.
One of the best ways I can talk about this is to use my knowledge of games. With this I am going way back to the days of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I could go back further but for me this was the first console I owned and will be much easier to cover the changes that have happened over the years. The first real driving game that I played was F1 pole position which was released in 1993 and at the time was an awsome game.
Four years later and a huge difference can be seen between the the last game and the newer version on the next Nintendo console. It is truly amazing to see the difference between the two games in such a short time period. The jump from 2-D to 3-D that took place during these two games is a huge leap in the technology. The next jump skips the next generation of consoles and forms itself onto the PS3 and Xbox 360 as some of the graphics on the driving games on these consoles are so realstic it is truly unreal.V.
Of course this hasn’t just happened in the gaming world, many things have been tried and failed or been made into a huge success over the last few years. The biggest and best in my opinion isn’t the amazing new Ferrari’s you see being released it is in fact the Hybrid car. The reason they are so good is that they save a hell of a lot on energy which is going to be pretty useful for when the oil runs dry. Some of the newer models of the Hybrid cars have system that powers the battery whenever you brake the car.
Of course not to be forgotten is the brilliant to shut the kids up, T.V in the car as well as heated seats to calm the Mrs down during a heated ‘you’ve got us lost’ argument.
The Hyrbid car is only going to increase in sales (after the recession that is) and will certainly be the car of the future, but for nowl, you need a car that is both decent and afforable. Leased cars can work out a lot cheaper? The Audi contract hire looks pretty good as well as being as little as £214 a month.
