My idea of an economy car

I'm a bit more of a fan of Lotuses and Porsches, but yeah, I like the Corvette, too. But as a basic car I really love the VW concept: It seats 4, goes 0-60 in ~12 seconds (really not much slower than e.g. a Lincoln Town Car ;)), except for the Autobahn the top speed of 100 mph is enough (~100 mph is the cruising speed on most autobahns, but if you want to overtake, you go ~120), but it costs you a quarter of what it costs you to operate a present-day larger car. It just gets you there and you don't need to worry about it.
