Now we're talking! My only concern will be the $30,000 price tag.

Comments at the site indicate this is a 6 year old concept car. 2010 might be optimistic.

Adding to the excitement of this breakthrough is recent news that VW plans to get this concept out to market in <A target="_blank" href="http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/volkswagen/vw-boss-confirms-1-liter-car-for-2010">2010</A>!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/05/27/transportation-tuesday-vws-235mpg-concept-coming-soon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.inhabitat.com/img/03DD58CE-1429-4D2D-BBFC-72668F5B2E28" alt="volkswagen 1L, vw 1l, 1l vehicle, 235 mpg vehicle, 235 miles per gallon, fuel efficient volkswagen, fuel efficiency, fuel efficient car, green car, vw1l_1.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/05/27/transportation-tuesday-vws-235mpg-concept-coming-soon/"><P>The car is <A href="http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/05/20/afs-trinity-xh150/" target="new">extremely fuel efficient</A>, each gallon of fuel will take you over 235 miles.
