The People's Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed electronic engine management system. Meets all safety requirements, environmentally friendly, (per their standards...) 25 km per litre!
"Lost your job yet? Keep buying foreign" as the CAW/UAW bumper stickers tell us.
Well folks, the foreigners are doing something that we aren't doing! Responding realistically to the current climate. Both literally and figuratively considering the environmental and financial situations.
*Edit* Michelle has pointed out to me, and upon thought I agree with her that environmentally this will NOT be a good thing for an area already battling awful air pollution. I also wonder if a country where only 7 in 1000 own a car if the infrastructure will be able to handle the sudden increase of cars?

The ONLY WAY to get American business to pay attention is to Buy what you want and need. When it's not theirs they start (very slowly mind you ) to figure it out and do something. Yet they will still charge double this price and work they're way up. ALSO our fine government will protect their business's by taxing this thing to death and raising fuel costs till even this car in unfeasible.
Thanks for dropping in and for commenting Devin. I agree with much of what you say, another problem is subsidies... but that's another blog post!
