My SWAG is that Kia or Hyundai could deliver an all-steel entry level variant for $16,000(US) which would do 100 mpg HWY.It would suffer a bit in town with the higher weight until traffic engineers were purged,and 7-year-olds placed in charge of traffic light synchronization.
But a consumer could option the car with hybrid tech as their budget allowed (both Kia and Hyundai offer hybrid technology).
There wouldn't be any whistles and bells unless you wanted to pay extra.And that would be the whole point.
A new strength through joy car!
