I didn't think VW could even come close to making something that fast anyway, but you can never tell. Now if only they could make a truck with even half that kind of fuel economy.

There you go, that would be the ticket.

Ok, so MPG makes more sense. But I still would be nervous in that thing. But then again, I drive a 4x4 so it looks really small, compared to my SUV.

It would be practical in the city...that's it. A truck would blow that thing right off the interstate.
