That's funny but GM already makes that car.
If you walk in to a Chevy dealer here in Sweden you will find a car called the Chevy Matiz.


"The new Matiz/Spark features a new 796-cc, three-cylinder gasoline engine that delivers 38 kW( 52 hp) of power and a maximum 71.5 Nm (52.7 lb-ft) of torque. Top-speed of the five door model is 135 km/h (84 mph) with 0–100 km/h acceleration of 21.9 seconds"

If your "lucky" maybe it's one of Obama's "fuel-efficient cars of tomorrow"

That's hilarious! I just hope it doesn't go that way, hope we can let private industry be private and competition, entrepreneurship, and innovation drive the market. Not regulation and lobbying.

Some info about the new Limo
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/06/driving.obama/index.html



As a candidate, Barack Obama promoted hybrid cars.
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/POLITICS/01/06/driving.obama/art.cadillac1.cnn.jpg.

Auto enthusiasts have panned the design of the new presidential limo, which will be painted all black.
As president, he'll be handed the keys to one. Sort of.
Shortly after taking the oath of office, Obama will climb into the Mother of All Hybrids -- part car, part truck and, from the looks of it, part tank.
In keeping with recent tradition, the Secret Service will place a brand-new presidential limousine into service January 20 to drive the new president on the 2-mile jaunt down Pennsylvania Avenue during the inaugural (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/U_S_Presidential_Inauguration) parade.
Already, spy photos of the limo -- with patches of gray primer -- have leaked out. And already, the reviews:
"Ugly as sin," says one car enthusiast on an auto Web site. "Can't we make a hotter ride for our pres?"
"Sheesh," says another, "why don't they just transport the president around in an Abrams tank."
One news agency, noting its 8-inch-thick doors, says the limo can withstand a "direct hit from an asteroid." But GM spokeswoman Joanne K. Krell laughed off the comments.
"And it will fix you a latte if you ask," she jokes.
