Has anyone heard about VW's 1.0 liter diesel hybrid. I saw an article about it online, but have not been able to find more since. From what I read it is still in testing, it is a 2 seater and it gets 429 mpg, and you sit fighter pilot style. If anyone has more info I would love to hear or find a link about it!

GreenLantern, if you're talking about the 1-litre concept, this is it:

It's purely a concept car, and as far as I know, it isn't a hybrid, just a conventional single-cylinder diesel.
But a hybrid diesel Golf/Rabbit is probably close to production and may be sold in the U.S. That model supposedly gets close to 70 mpg.
VW also showed the EcoRacer roadster concept that was ultra-efficient & lightweight. No word on if that's going to make it to production.

Just a concept car. Probably not going into production. But this thing, I'd roll: 1800 lbs, 0-60 in 6 sec, 70+ mpg.

YEAH THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BETTER, AT LEAST YOU CAN SARDINE 2 PEOPLE IN IT, HIT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN A 10-SPEED BIKE, AND YOUR GONNA NEED THE JAWS OF LIFE TO GET OUT. THE OTHER ONE, THE 1 SEATER, IS FOR LOSERS THAT CAN'T GET A GIRL-FRIEND
