Not Sold In The US

Nice review of the new Seat hatchback, gets 74 mpg per British figures (better than prius, and lower emissions than prius). Converting to non-imperial gallons, that's about 61 mpg in the US, although the US EPA estimates don't use the same "combined" algorithm that the UK ones do I'm sure. Still, it's cheap, very low emisions, and astoundingly fuel efficient. US availability: never.

    iirc, the US combined figure is arrived at by weighing city mileage @ 55% and highway driving at 45%.

    and then possibly adding 15 so we all feel better about ourselves.
