If VW collected it might cover a quarter of the R&D cost already accrued. $10m?. It is so lame, esp with 3 billion a week getting tossed into the dessert.


I am bummed that VW cancled that car, what a wicked rig, 3/8 of a ton, and a perfectly tuned tiny injected diesel. It makes the apterra look foolishly amatureish
They might be reconsidering production on it, but probly not.
The eco market is a tight-fisted one, paying more for less is a hard sell.
Holy-crap, they were going to sell it for $25k! I woulda thunk they coulda sold some.

VW Resurrects Plan for 200+-MPG Small Car

Wicked.

When the germans get all OCD about enginering realy good %, and the market tolerates it, perhaps we could bootstrapp out of PO.
Damn late start.

10 Million, VW could care less. Another story had them looking to cut 4 billion. To get production up on a new vehicle probly costs a billion+. 10 million pays for the employee lounge.

I ain't got 25k to drop on something like that, but way before I picked up a hybrid I'd go VW...
