VW may be selling its super fuel efficient car to the public! With a 2 cylinder diesel, the car gets a reported 282 mpg. This is the first fuel efficient car that I can actually see myself purchasing. I think the thing is pretty neat!

Here's a better picture to see its real size:

Ehhhh, no thanks. Seriously. Who says fuel efficient has to be synonymous with ugly?

Article from 08. :/

I like the interior but, the function over form exterior would take me a while to get used to.

Why does it remind me of the Hunchback of Koenigsegg?

[OriginalWheelman]

Eh.

[Loki]

Lmao. It's a motorbike with an enclosure.

You might wanna watch what you eat for breakfast, it might affect your MPGs.

Does it get to 60 in less than 20 seconds?

Does it get to 60 in less than 20 seconds?

It might if one drove off a high enough cliff in it... I suspect if VW goes to the effort to make that car US legal, once the airbags, and other stuff get installed, the mileage will be closer to 45 mpg than of 282.

epa needs to start a "d!ck per gallon" for s*** as gay as that.

The link says the following, "Rumors put the price of the Volkswagen L1 at anywhere between "20,000 to 30,000 Euros (about $31,750 to $47,622)". But if oil prices keep climbing, that might be a bargain in 2010."

...in 2010?
