I actually drove that car ~1.5 years ago (there are only 2 of them!), and while the operation of the vehicle was interesting, consumer acceptance is going to be difficult. To most people, diesels sound strange enough, but imagine driving around with your car suddenly switching from gasoline sound to diesel sound all the time. It's kind of weird, and I don't know how much they'll actually be able to quiet it down.
We shall see!
