I've always had very mixed feelings about XL1.
On one hand, kudos for actually producing it.
On the other hand, the actual fuel consumption claim was product of marketing rather than engineering and I hate that.
Also, what really sets me off is how inferior XL1 is to L1. L1 was reasonably practical car yet much more efficient than XL1. But farther from what an average buyer considers a car.
If someone made a L1-like car at a reasonable price point I would rush to buy one.
Or, better, if someone made an ecomobile-like vehicle at a reasonable price point.
