I do hope the name is kept alive, and it is refreshing to hear the name Frazier-Nash again.

Hybrids are a good compromise on this which FN are alluding to. Fully electric cars are a backward step - they would do better to revisit gas turbine technology! I expect the combustion portion of the hybrid will not be a V8 sized engine, which would be hard to let go of, but wasn't this the same feeling when Bristol went from the 6-cyl to Chrysler V8's, 50 years ago?
