Rode in one in Taiwan and got to drive it around in the parking lot, I liked it.:D
Reminded me of the old Beetle.
Will see how the pricing goes with Penske to determine if I purchase.

That is my biggest issue with the fuel economy debate. I could get 45-65mpg on a motorcycle, or 30-40mpg in a little car. I don't want to save a few bucks in gas and be crippled or killed in an accident due to being in an econo-box tin wrapper. I always said when I moved to the country etc I would always drive an F250 or larger. That way I had better chances of surviving a crash. You know how people in the country are always crossing the line and doing head on crashes, animal strikes etc. I guess some gas is cheap life insurance when you see the accidents on the roads today. 18 wheelers sitting on top of economy cars etc.

I had a beetle in college and was in a fraternity
Never knew where it might be after a Friday party.
