VW Lupo "3 liter":100mph, 4 seats, airbags, automatic transmission, available AC. 78.5mpg city, 104.6mpg highway, 94.5mpg combined. If we can get the sulfur out of US diesel fuel, we could have 'em now!

The Lupo 3L, 3-cylinder TDI uses a Turbo Direct Injection diesel engine of 1.2 liters displacement, which produces 61 horsepower and 103.25 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 rpm. The Lupo 3L TDI was introduced last year in Europe, becoming the first production car being able to travel 100 kilometers (62 miles) on just 3 liters (0.79 gallons) of fuel.

Could have it? Don't want it. I would need some serious amputation/liposuction to drive that thing.

Not for everybody. It's about the same size and weight as the old VW Beatle. I thought the technology was pretty amasing. I'd take a 50 mpg Cadillac based on the same technology.
