Volkswagen Introduces Car That Can 282 Miles...Per...GALLON!

Of course it can be done. It could've been done decades and decades ago. It just wouldn't be as extremely profitable for Big Oil as it's been of late.

There's a catch though. It's going to be a limited edition only costing big bucks.

What ever happened to Volkswagen being the make of "The People's Car"?

Interesting. It would never pass our safety standards, so just buy a 300cc motorcycle.

I don't care about Union made... except for

the ignorance that Unions produced...

Has nothing to do with where or who made a vehicle...

Must be ignorance to confuse the two subjects...

"the ignorance that Unions produced..."

Which ignorance might this be? Can't see how you blame the UAW or my wife's union, IAM, for the average Bushiehead knowing nothing of economics or the military.

"Has nothing to do with where or who made a vehicle..."

We part company right here. Buying a foreign car is treason. You probably wear Vietnamese clothes and sell Chinese bicycles.

I love V-Dubs. Always have (as you may be able to tell by my nic...lol).

The technology's out there (not only VW).

Hell, there's a lot of prototypes floatin' around like that.

But the reality is that it's going to take as many years to get out of this "gas hog" mess, as it took to get into it.

One of the things that needs to be taken into account, is the fact that people are going to be weighing (as they're doing now) the high cost of these new "high mileage" fuel efficient vehicles with the, somewhat, moderate payment (in some cases), low mileage, large, vehicles that they're driving now.

Would hate to get popped by a Suburban in that thing.

I blame Libs for keeping Dems dumb
by parthecourse

And the Unions that told dumbDems how to vote for years on end... And the knuckled under ignorant Unionize workers that brought home such garbage as "we vote with the Union and the Union will take care of us"...

And to continue, Yes, your wife's Union that has taught our children Lib values from anti-Christ to environmentalism... birds and bugs, more important than people...Can't drill for oil here or there or anywhere because...why? Environment??? When are we gonna wake-up and realize that we must get to work to survive...phooy on the birds and bugs...huh?

And yes I sell Chinese bicycles when I get them traded in and I don't know about my clothes but I recently ordered a pair of work boots from Masons and sure enough they were shipped in from China...first ones ever but I must buy there for not many places sell size 9EEEE boots...

And BTW: TREASON?...what car would you recommend that does not have some foreign made parts or at least belong to a foreign corp...?

And...We part company right here...??? I didn't know we were in company... Whatzat???
