thewayneNo joke.
It's not much to look at, it seats two in tandem rather than side by side, and it looks like it has nothing for cargo space, but it's carbon fiber and has a drag coefficient of 0.16. Estimated price is $30-40k. They've had it for years, but weren't considering production until carbon fiber tech came down in price. Well, it's come down.
Aside from the looks, it'll be interesting to see how it does in safety tests and I'd like to know what the repair bills would be like. They also don't talk about what the acceleration is like, and considering the size of the engine, I would expect it to be kinda sluggish.

Date: 2008-07-06 03:28 am (UTC)I am VERY interested as I like VW diesels, but the price tag makes the payback period impractical at anything under about 12$ gas.
If it was 20k I would Buy one in about 10 seconds.
