Wow. Just found this: China is ready to import a 'green cherry' of a
vehicle: the Chery A3 ISG diesel hybrid, unveiled at Shanghai motor
show. Looks decent, and it seems to have everything that the 'green'
crowd wants, including less sticker-shock.

This is supposed to use "3.01 l per 100 km." That's 33.2 km/l, or 78
mpg. That's pretty good, especially for a starting product. Next
year's Prius is rumored to be over 100 mpg. They have a headstart. I
predict that by the time GM tries to make these things Toyota and
Honda will be well over 100 mpg, even without a plug-in option.
