In 2010, when VW starts producing their 1L car, which does 285 mpg, would you consider buying one?

Asked by ragingloli (51968points) July 22nd, 2009

How successful do you think will the sales for this car be, and why do you think so?

I will need to wait and see what the price is, but yes, 100km on 1 liter of fuel sounds like a great buy for the enviroment

If it looks good, performs well, and is affordable I’d definitely look at it.

I like VW cars but can’t wait that long. Unless I keep my Ford for another year (or more basically) and go straight for the VW 1L. Sounds like a good deal.

Oh. Too confining for me. :(

Too freaky. My dream car would be ‘57 – ‘63 design with all mod cons and fuel efficient. I know, keep dreaming.

That sounds amazing. I was considering a smart car, but if this is real, I would be all over it like hot butter on a roll.

Nope. I don’t think I’ll be convinced to own another VW product.

Also, wouldn’t this win the 100 MPG x prize?

@hungryhungryhortence: It is a shame that you had a bad experience with a VW. I have owned 3, my mother has owned 2, my brother and his wife have had 3… none of us had any problems. I would not hesitate to buy a VW… but I usually do hesitate to buy the first of any model by any manufacturer.

@hearkat: I’ve owned 2 VW’s and also worked for them a few years, just my personal experiences. I’d pick a Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Nissan even a GMC product over a VW.

I like me some Nissan…

or the new Camaro O.o

@ABoyNamedBoobs03: the Altima coupe is a win.

Everyone’s perspective will change once the barrel of oil hits $200 and more. I just bought a new Ford Fiesta doing 68 mpg or about 3.5 l/100km.

@hungryhungryhortence I’ve had the hybrid for a year or so now, I absolutely love it.

@PupnTaco :: I’m going to school to fix cars. My actual goal is doing exactly what you described. Taking old cars and adding solar panels and converting them to hybrids.

@johnpowell: I’ll take the black
‘59 Impala. ;)
