Um.... It's definitely got an interesting look. Seriously looks like a jet fighter, just needs wings. Not sure how I feel about that though...
Production model having a two-cyl desiel engine? Um... Well.... Hum.... How do I put this?
Doggish? I realize they are going for mpg's, but while needing those, what about when some dumb ass cuts you off and you need to punch it cause you gatta get away from the truck coming up behind you? What then? I mean, that's a problem with the prius, and the insight's. No power.
Idk... I think it will take some time for anyone to get accustomed to how it looks.
But, props for the cool thinking!

I would rock it for a cost of about $15,000. For $40k i'm buying a much nicer car.

Change your driving habits. I doubt many of those big trucks in your story actually run over insights or even geo metros (3cyl 50mpg).

$40k... buy a car for $10k, put $5k into making yourself love it and drive you still have $25k to spend on gas.

Interesting enough. Price is to steep though.

I wouldn't mind the mileage, but I would mind the car. It's ugly, and has no power. Blah.
Still a cool feat of engineering though.
