    Vw Xl1

    Has anyone seen this? 261 mpg (no, that is not a typo) and they are talking about doing a limited run (within the next 2 years). Looks like it would be a great little "get around" vehicle.

    Reminds me a bit of the old fuel mizer version of the Honda CRX (can't remember it exact name) only with gullwing doors.

    The Insight?

    It always seems they way overexagerate the MPG these prototype cars get. The Volt was supposed to be the next big thing, but then its estimated range got cut drastically and its a lot less impressive now.
