I saw that same info in a car mag a while back. I believe, however, it was
planned for production in a few years or maybe for export to the US in a few
years. I remember thinking that my 13 yr old son might "need" one to drive
when he turns sixteen. ;-) At any rate it was a reality that it is or will
be produced. Wonder if the VW Beetle had any influence on this?
