A cool vehicle, no doubt. I'm really not as impressed by the weight aspect as the author though. The new Mistubishi Mirage is the same weight, and doesn't make use of tons of exotic materials, just some high strength steel. Its getting really good crash test ratings too. The rest of the XL1 is pretty awesome though.
