We're talking an all aluminum body, Mg control arms and rims, gaps between body parts (e.g. front fender nad door for example) being minimal, a smooth bottom surface and specially designed computer controled automatic tranny. A friend of mine has it, it costs about 18 K$ here in Europe. By the way, the engine is a 3 cyl diesel cycle engine with an injection pressure of 2050 bar. It has no air condition or any electric door/window/steering/other_crap assistance and this is one of the secrets to high fuel mileage. Aleks
