news:2YEDh.3$Xe1.1@trndny01 VW Lupo-II/SH (Semi-Hybrid) A partly composite frame and body, with a titanium or whatever super-alloy engine of a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder and stator tuned turbo-diesel format, along with a 6 or 7 speed automatic transmission, whereas there's little reason why we don't have an affordable 90 shp fuel efficient alternative that's capable of cruising four of us down the pike at nearly 100 mpg as of a decade ago, and having that 250,000 mile or 10 year warranty to boot. Of course at the usual 1000% gross profit margin is why that level of automotive transport technology would have to cost you better than $50,000. But then China or perhaps India could mass produce the same or better item that would retail for as little as $10,000. A titanium alloy beer can filled with hard foam and perhaps N2 is actually quite strong, at about 10% the conventional mass of a steel framed and steel covered body. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
