Subaru 360.

Dear Subaru:

In these times of outrageous gasoline prices, don't you think it's time to reintroduce the Subaru 360? Slap some Splitfire sparkplugs and a Tornado Air Fuel Management Device in the stock version of that puppy and I bet you could get 70 miles per gallon these days. A hybrid version could probably get 125 or more.

You could market it as an entry-level alternative to the Volkwagen Beetle. And it would appeal to people's pocketbooks and desire to conserve resources.

Or is it a case of so many government regulations regarding required equipment that such a vehicle is now impossible to sell in America?

Thanks.
