I like it.... Looks cool, ultralow fuel consumption. And it's a Volkswagen.

I really don't like the rear end, but in order to get that kind of drag coefficient I guess that's needed?

Surprising that they unveil it in the Middle East.

That's the best place to show it off to the oil companies that will pay them billions to keep it from coming to market.

Finally. A car that more resembles something from Back to the Future's 2015.

:D

Talya may be being a bit cynical, but she is also skirting very close to a truth.

I'm not terribly excited. By the time they meet California's smog emissions standard and install all the extra gear required, including the anti-diesel lobby mandated equipment, it'll be down to 50 mpg.
