Very nice! Thats pretty much a ecodriver's dream car, diesel with regenerative braking AND low Cd (.237). 70 mpg highway sounds nice to me. It even looks good.

Other specs:
.8L turbo diesel engine (51 hp)
7 speed tranny
65 hp electric motor (10 hp continuous)
lithium battery pack
1532 lbs (695 kgs)
