The Eco might just have enough range to make it from Berlin to Warsaw in one tank.

Some of them (like the Audi) are closed off because the bumper crash structure is behind it and it wouldn’t get any air through there anyways.

I did something similar to the Hyundai Kona recently. I didn’t get rid of *all* the fake grilles, just most of it.

When we were all making jokes about this looking like a BMW, I never thought that BMW would look at it and go “Hmmm, yes, Hans, zis is exzactly vhat ve need our car to look like!”
