I like the car, but I gotta pass on the diesel power.  I totally respect what can be done with the modern turbo diesel truck engines and all that stuff, but I live in a town where every guy that has a turbo diesel work truck also goes right out and bolts on the most obnoxiously loud exhaust system imagineable... stack exhaust pipes are also found regularly. Lol.  I am so sick of the 'grizzly bear snorting before taking a crap' type of sound that comes from those engines...lol.  I read somewhere where the diesel trucks are quickly becoming the new ricers.  ::)

All that said, the car is cool... I just wish it had a gasoline small or big block in it.  That's what I would be all about if I had that car.

I'd love it! Run it on waste vegetable oil for the ultimate in cheap, clean motoring! I'm trying to sort out my Passat TD to run on a percentage of WVO to make it as cheap to run as possible.  Veg gives a cleaner burn too, from what I've read.

Haha! Nice on Kalle :-) we should have one like that in Norway, and use it to shuffle people to meetings at Miljopartiet (a political party obsessed about the invornment)  ;D
