Their catch was not the economy so much as the price as well. They had to come in under price and over mpg of the Mirage. So double the mpg for almost 1/2 the price of the otherwise price champ. I bet they would sell a million IF today you could get even a $10,000 "car" with 80 mpg. The problem is you can't build a $10,000 "car" even if it only got 30 mpg and couldn't exceed 55 mph.
