Amazing when you think how much car manufacturers spend on research like this. I’m sure with a bit of engine tweaking he’ll get the prize…and desrves it.

This might be a Spyshot of the 2010 Subaru Impreza.

That’s true.
If the Automotive X-Prize doesn’t have particularly hard criteria (like minimum engine size is 2.0ltr), this “Basjoos” dude showed that it is actually possible.

100mpg would only be achived if you’re cruising in a freeway, and the biggest problem is to maintain constant speed, so drag coefficient is one of the biggest factor, as well as weight.

Yes its ugly, but i’m sure in the hands of a creative designer and lots fiberglass. A sexy and fuel efficent design could be acheived. Lets face it, its not that much uglier than most American cars anyway!
