 Wirtschaftlichkeit means efficiency (Christian, bitte korrigiere mich, wenn ich mit dem englischen Begriff falsch liegen sollte!) - Normally it is used, when a car has a good fuel economy and taxes aren't to high for the car. It is efficient to drive this car, because the attendant costs are financeable... I hope this is right - if it isn't please correct me!!  Wimmer: You're correct Ree!

I understand the reinen Wassers, that's like calling it pure blood. Erlkönig always confused me, due to the normal meaning of the word.

The "Erlkönig" , which appears in a Goethe poem, describes a mystic beeing. That's ASFAIK the reason for using this term for prototypes in German. | |

| Re: ^^^*Auto Motor und Sport* German-English Terminology^^^ If we can belief wikipedia, the word "Erlkönig" become characterized by two authors of an automobile magazine! They wrote short poems about the prototypes in the style of the Erlkönig-peom by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Erlkönig (Auto) - Wikipedia
