Cool Video. It's a good package. Distinctive looks. Good highway mpg (38 I think he said) for the size (and especially the power). Blue Max and Eco Coach avalable on thee normally aspirated version? With CAFE standards increasing it will be interesting to see if similar products (or a later version of this product) will be brought to market with even higher MPG.

It is too much more to pay (IMO) for too little extra power, but it would be good for someone who wants that power, isn't that concerned with the cost of the car, yet wants the car to have a fairly low operating cost. This person also likely doesn't know how to work on the car himself/herself and would want the dealer to maintain it. I was wondering if the normally aspirated version has the 'Blue" and 'Coach' features because those intrigue me, but I wouldn't want the turbo.
