Really if they are going to make some crap like this shouldn’t it be about $6K tops? I don’t care how many mpg’s it gets I wouldn’t pay more than that for it… well to be honest I wouldn’t pay for it period!

The Stig, I think I remember reading that VW had an emergency release on that hatch, in the event of a roll-over. I’m not sure how it worked, but that had been taken into account. I still have the old issue of CAR, so I’ll look it up when I get home.

Probably won’t pass by the NHTSA with that roof acting as a single door. But the general direction is sound and unfortunately a reality.

Rafa LL, the concept was capable of 75mph (120kph) with an 8.5hp one lunger. A V-twin will be even more capable, and even if it halves the efficiency, you’ll still be getting 141mpg.

I love it, and I can’t wait for every automaker to have one of these on the showroom floor. Now we can tell CAFE to bend over and take it back, since there’s no need of killing off any RWD Impala plans now. DD this kind of car, people. You can drive what you want on the weekend.

Shape reminds me of them “Salt Flats” racer types….

A price point of $32-48k for this diminutive car…gives new meaning to the term “VW’s ultimate green machine”.

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I knew that ‘Hemiroid’ was a loser. Waylun Jennings and Hank Williams Jr … kill yourself.

How about it’s speed, because if your telling me that it gives 282 mpg with a 30 mph top speed then I prefer a Hummer H1, Thirstier but I could go to anywhere with a lot of fuel-stops in a weekend, instead of going from NY to Boston in a year and a half.

as much as id love to have it, it makes me question how VW can kill something as great as the GX3 and then bring forth a concept that most people have pushed to the back of their mind. I can imagine this will do wonders for their CAFE averages though.

Did R2D2 and C3P0 arrive in one of these things?

I’m not quiet sure whether “Jonny English” reached across the Atlantic, but he used an eject button.
Would be cool on that cigar-shaped car.

If anyone ever buys this car, he’ll just feel like sardines in a tin.

beautus,

It has mirrors because LLN just lifted the details of the Up! and smacked ‘em on and probably forgot to take the mirrors off.

man i just had a thought here, Top Gun- i could be driving and just start saying “Talk to me Goose” – does this thing come with an eject button in case some 18 wheeler decides to run me over?

LOL brassmonkey. And now that you don’t have to hold her by the hair you’ve got a free hand for the road pop.

LMAO, Brass Monkey! That was hilarious!

But honestly, would you ever go on a road trip in that thing? You’d have 2nd degree sunburns on your head, face and arms, just from a trip to from L.A. to Vegas.

I guess we have to forego ‘road head’ and settle for a reach around instead on roadtrips.

Sure does look like a blue dildo that HemiRR (Jared) uses in his own butt. Check http://www.myspace.com/hemiroadrunner for details.

If the rearview mirrors are to be replaced with cameras, why are there rearview mirrors on the illustration?
