I've talked about this little guy before. The great MPG comes from low air resistance and light weight. The looks are definitely growing on me:
But more importantly, the Loremo LS is designed to achieve a stunning 157mpg. It will go up to 160km/h [about 100mph, JC] on a 2 cylinder turbo-diesel engine, though the company is also exploring an all electric version of the vehicle. The vehicle weighs about 450kg [not even a half ton or about a third of what my little VW weighs, JC], and will cost around 13,000 euros [or 19,110 USD, JC]. Expect the vehicle to go on sale in Europe, China and India in 2009

someone on inhabitat mentioned that opening the uni-door to hop in on a rainy seattle day means sitting on a drenched seat, not in so many words. but it's novel, attention-grabbing features like that which draws interest.
