I hope Volkswagen brings its Polo Bluemotion to North America. The current Polo is not being offered in the USA. If the Polo Bluemotion has the customary 14.5 gallon tank and give 71 mpg, she would have a range of 1,100.5 miles per full tank. The excerpt below is from the article, which expresses my feelings as well: #----------------------- /Steiger adds that long distance and freight transportation will continue to rely on internal combustion engines with highly efficient drive systems in the foreseeable future, so a long period of coexistence can be expected between E-technology and classic internal combustion engines./ #-------------------- Regards, LelandJ /*Volksw Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion*/ --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
