It's gay.

Higher gas prices will mean less dependence on foreign oil, incentives for
new technologies and people will drive less. I don't understand why the
liberals are crying.

Amen!

... it's 4ltrs/100km at 70mph with 6 speed paddle shifter & a 40hp diesel
engine. Excellent crash test rating and polymer exchangeable body panels.
I already have a sufficient fleet of V8, V6 4x4 and all wheel trucks/SUVs.
I want a small car that's cheap on fuel.... this thing is fricken Cool!

I watched one of these negotiate traffic the other day and find a place to
park in a full lot. The guy got to the booze store and was back on the
road before I even made the turn into the parking lot.

It isn't and won't be available in the USA ...and Liberals always cry!


Put a "USA Sucks" bumper sticker on that toy and drive it around Texas,
pardner.

Got one thing going for it. Nobody will ever know if you've been in a
rear end shunt, or not, because it looks that way from the factory.

I'll keep right on driving my 16 y/o Subaru 4wd sedan. It's paid for
long ago.

I'd buy a diesel version if it was available in the US.
95mpg is fabulous.

Thanks for doing the math Bart. I don't understand why they can't put the
specifications in the correct, American terminology.

I was looking them over at the local Mercedes dealership here. The turbo
diesel sits on the back axle and it's a rear wheel drive. 6 speed stick or
paddle shift. It's a cool little car. I was pricing one of the convertible
models with leather seats, A/C, power windows etc.... 23K Cdn.

It's the fuel and manoeuvrability aspect for in city driving that really
caught my interest.
