    VW XL1 banned in USA.....too efficient!!!!

    Granted its ugly as sin, but it just goes to show how the world actually works!! :(

    http://themindunleashed.org/2014/04/...efficient.html

    "You won’t find the 300 MPG Volkswagen XL1 in an American showroom, in fact it has even been denied a tour of America because it is too efficient for the American public to be made widely aware of, and oil profits are too high in America with the status quo in place."

    I remember back in 1986 when we went unleaded, everyone was singing the doom and gloom about how that is the beginning of the end for petrol burning cars..... "You won't be able to buy petrol in 10 years......" " We'll all be driving electric cars soon....."

    Yeah, sure.

    None of us on this forum will see the end of petrol.
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
