Are you sure it wasn't ex-army ? There was quite a bit of excess stock available just then, especially down your way I suspect
Back on topic - the Aerocivic is a top car though - who here hasn't looked at it, and then their own car and just wondered. Unless I have missed the point this is a superb example of what can be done by taking one aspect of efficiency (Aero) to an extreme. Add in a Lupo 3L engine and 100 would be more like a 'bad tank' - maybe, but that defeats the $400 budget aspect which is still amazing.
