    that is pretty cool, i wonder how fun to drive a diesel with a fancy gearbox would be? the modular-ness sounds cool too

      who knows. but that light car would be funnier for auto-x than a prius I imagine. or insight.

      assume you could just get a civic hybrid now.... but more concepts like this would bring a smile to the face

          I was reading an article at the bmw dealership here about a 1900lb racer that runs on water? WTF is this world coming to? WATER? 59liters of water and 1 liter of a $7 mixture to make it work?

                like the idea. The design looks good from the front, the C-pillar is a bit much though

                  i'd love to see a carbon fiber production car with a 134hp diesel...

                  what else would you use cf for though i guess?






                  oh... right... Formula One

                      cool-looking concept though.

                          Just throw a damn diesel into an Elise, this doesn't seem very earth-shattering to me.

                          With all the CF it'd probably be expensive too. What Rob said, gimme an MR2.
