Placing this car in a James Bond blockbuster might fire the consumer imagination as BMW and other cars have done when seen on the silver screen.
I honestly think if it's not production ready it's very, very close. Hopefully they will adapt the E-Up! electric drive train for use in an XL-E. We as a civilization need EV's badly. Perhaps VW should invest in product placement for a new Back to the Future. (Although I don't trust Hollywood not to screw it up)
