I think it's very very impressive. Beautiful in a lunar-module kinda' way. I'd buy that in an heartbeat - as an everyday drive-about and even a long-distance driver. Of course, I'm driving a Prius now, and so it's no weirder looking than that (Imagine, a Prius that handled well. What a concept).
The diesel, assuming it's quiet and yielding great mileage, is what we need over here in the U.S.
Sadly, it's not available in the U.S., right?
