[Vwdiesel] something worth trading the A4 in for

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

? How about a few more requestst to VW to build the Ecoracer?? Two passenger, muscle car performance and speed
and still make 100mpg!? Beats a 0-60 in more-than-a-NA-diesel-Rabbit-time, sub-sized Honda Insight in my book!
As Dad pointed out, even a 100mpg Ecoracer, on a trip still doesn't beat a 50mpg Passat when it comes to 
passenger loading.? Two people @ 100mpg or 5 (or 4 and lots of stuff) @ about 50mpg.? The production model 
of that 1L still won't beat that.? The 7hp prototype doesn't quite beat it by double and you're a slowly moving 
hazzard that better not have any hills or time constraints in your way!
? Great "concept" but I bet it lacks a LOT?in real world practicality.? :-(

this vehical, let us know.
