They also built an "e" model which claimed numbers in the 0.27 range.
Flush wheel trims , diesel engine , no air con , etc.

For a concept car 0.30 is pathetic.

Hell , even Mitsubishi's iCar claims numbers in the twenties.

Seriously if this is the best they can come up with I am not surprised they are on the decline.
