Sounds like BS to me. Someone has posted a fraudulent message and pasted in some photos from the original VW prototype runs. Notice the road signs are in German.

And even so, I'd buy one. Not made in China of course, I'm not keen on supporting a slave labor economy, but a super-thrifty little runabout? You bet. Shoot, you could probably roll your own with decent results, it just takes a clapped-out fiberglass canoe flipped over on a recumbent trike and a little Hatz diesel and you're off to the (not very fast) races.
