@Suzuki Twin: that is a niftly little keicar. I presume that 100mpg figure is on the Japanese 10-15 mode, which results in much higher numbers than the EPA's faster test. It has a smaller frontal area, but a much higher drag coefficient, than the Insight. Someone should ecomod one.
@Toyota 1/X: Wow! It's a mini-Prius, made of extremely expensive materials! I want one. Yes, that would beat the 1g Insight if it came out without getting bloated on its way through the focus groups. The concept is awesome, but what if the production version ended up with a price tag a few grand less than the Insight-II? Hint: no carbon fiber, no Lithium-ion.
