News from Germany.

I've seen that car in real life (I live 20miles from Wolfsburg, the home of VW! In my town there is the engine factory)

Yeah, you are right. It looks terrible. But in contrast to the US, we have to save fuel (as it is so expensive here). I admire the work of the engineers. With every Generation, the cars get more power by less consumption.

THIS CAR was only built, as a demonstration, that it is not unpossible. You will never see anybody drive in a car like this, although the VR6engine would be fun to think about...

I think you actually would see people driving it. Look at the front... come on folks... it has the 360 Modena front but shrunk... look closer at the lights. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

its quite a wierd concept but, i go to europe every year to see my grandparents (moms side) and other than the motorway the roads are no where near as wide and they dont have sides of the roads flattened out and theres usually shrubs and stuff on both sides, what im getting at is a 1 liter motor with little torque and hp over there feels ALOT faster than over here, and in the uk for a liter fuel it costs the same as a gallon over here just in pounds(1 pound = $1.68 usd) so 1.68 x 3.79 = thats 6 doallrs and 37 cents per gallon, so hell yea id rock the baby modena!

That reminds me of the Simpsons "Me fail english? That's unpossible.." - Ralph Wiggum

Not making fun of you! You speak waaaayy more english than I do German. Just thought it was kinda funny.

[Emley]

I noticed the "unpossible" thing too supertom! Right away I thought of Ralph Wiggum. I'm not poking fun either. I could never speak another language, let alone write or type one.

i like it even though it looks like a minisub out of a james bond movie. or just add some wings and you got a star fighter from starwars!!
let the force be with you!! lol

Take a look at what Mercedes is doing...

Smart Cars

There was a few of these in NYC rollin' around the Tavern On The Green. The sporty one's aren't too nasty looking, but small, damn small. Especially for a 6'1" phat-a$$ like me, and I'm 50% German!
