OK, Wow... that's... Wow. I'd drive that. Still haven't fixed the floorboard hole in my Civic...

The first gen insight is no slouch, but burns regular gas.

Not to mention one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen.

Not surprising at all. Ford of Germany has had a diesel Focus that got 72mpg for a few years now. Just not available here in the states.

Likewise.

Not bad looking.

A mini-station wagon look.

As the driver(s) of the diesel were apparently trying to set a record, I wonder what more real world milage might be, as well as fuel capacity.

Like high-capacity magazines, I like the idea of high-milage cars with a larger fuel tank. Say 15gal, at 70+ mpg.

Freakin' awesome!

another vehicle we'll never see here in the U.S.

Man, them's some ugly cyars. We need to get over our diesel fear though in America. Diesel is all I owned in Japan, where it's cheaper than gasoline too.
