Default Re: Crazy 235 MPG VW concept

Hi All:

___You will not be seeing this VW on the road any time soon I am afraid.

Honda to produce 1-liter-car from 2008?!

Well, they did it no question. But it's the HOW:

-At first it was on a Sunday. The motorways being "empty", without the trucks, which aren't allowed to drive Sundays. So that they didn't slow traffic down completely by this attempt.

-Then go and fetch a topographical map of northern Germany.
You will notice that the stretch from Wolfsburg to Hamburg which they drove is a constant downhill drive. They never drove the car back. They put it on the back of a van. Wonder why. Not enough power maybe? Mess up their average consumption maybe ?

One big media hoax, imo.
later on in the same thread …

Surprise surprise, the VW boss has now officially killed the 1 litre per 100km car.
