Told ya! Told ya!

"We'll all be driving composite-construction cars that weigh less than a thousand pounds and displace less than a liter and get 100 mpg."

Somewhere, sometime, I said that.

Notice that they act like the magnesium engine and tranny as well as a small engine and aerodynamic splash pan are new ideas. They pretty much reverted back to a Beetle then put a carbon fiber body & light weight suspension on it.

That said. I think it's a wonderful idea.

Cool idea, and all...but there's just one small problem: the sticker price.

I must say the stying is quite beautiful. Not terribly functional tho!
