235 MPG Car...not a hybrid or electric! Runs on regular gas.

Supposed to be a reality by next year. I'm sure the oil companies will hate this.

The world record holders of MPG build cars extremely low to the ground - the driver is almost always driving on his back.

Unfortunately, a car that low to the ground is an extreme death trap.

Nice to get 150mpg, until you wake up from a coma 3 months after someone ran over you, only to find that your daughter did not survive the crash.

You don't see many of these cars here but in Europe, they are plentiful.

This new car won't sell to the fat Americans because they can't fit into it in the first place. Europe will probably be the major market initially for this vehicle.

Crash tests results were actually not bad.
If it got better gas mileage I'd consider one.

Rather have one of these than a semi-auto 25, garter gun.

Why would you want to drive a car that looks like a hemorroid suppository? :eek:

Might as well get personalized tags for it saying: anal eco4u
