It would look awesome if they just exposed the rear wheels.

But would lose the 0.186 drag coefficient if it did....I'd take it if it really gets 313 mpg!!

If I intentionally drove my car like this, I'd probably get another 10mpg and everyone on the road would wish me dead.

The intent is clear, but how about something that won't get smoked by Aveos and Insights? Looks sharp, though. Bump up from that 800cc!

I see yet another VW that won't come to the US as their Mexican workforce aren't good enough to make.
