I wonder if it has really low gearing and is turning 3000 RPM on the hwy?
But why are the city # so low? And its not fast.
I think my vx goes to 60 in a little over 10 sec.
If they could just make a cheap simple car (like the VX) without hybrid drivetrain, they would have the market cornered.
Give us a car without power steering please! 165/70/13 tires, too!
The insight was great, but not many people bought it because it was a 2 seater. If they would have just made it stretched slightly with seating for 4, the sales would have been better. The move toward heavy, expensive, complicated cars is the wrong direction.
Why would anyone want an expensive hybrid that gets poor mpg and is not fast?
