[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 88 . ---( the Hybrid questions )

[Libbybapa at wmconnect.com]

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that the lupo/polo/a2 1.2 all meet 
the strictest safety standards in the world, but vw has no intention of 
importing them to the U.S. unless there is "a significant determined interest."  I 
have no doubt that there would be a significant determined interest if the 
general populus knew about them.  Although many Americans have been duped into the 
fashion of bulging, idiotic 12 mpg monsters with enough horsepower to 
accelerate up a 12% grade when already doing 90, not all reason has escaped all 
Americans.  Still probably 1/3 of all vehicles on the road are economy cars.  I think 
that's a fairly significant market share.  Hmmm... is there politics involved?
