We’ll forgive you if VW’s Öko-Polo doesn’t ring a bell. Instead of having a focus on performance or the ability to go off-road, this version of Polo was all about saving money at the pump.
Normally, the second-generation Polo could be had with a number of gasoline or diesel four-cylinder engines, but the Öko-Polo—German for “Eco-Polo”—was powered by a two-cylinder …
Dang, that thing is so rare in Germany that I don't ever recall seeing one in the flesh, both when I lived there and when I visited.
Probably not the most exciting find, but it should get "better than Prius" mpg.

Those tailllights look a LOT like Quantum, or maybe VW Fox.
Interesting that they have only one reverse light, and I assume one rear fog light.
Dang that guy has some cool stuff and he's here in NH!
