"Clever Car" -- the future of automobiles (whether you like it or not)

Vehicle cost = $13500 CAN.
Fill up the tank once every 3 weeks, will run you $62 bucks each time.
Will seat two (one comfortably).
Leans into corners.
Same height and visibility as other small cars.
Crash tested, just as safe as other small cars.
Advertised as 50 mph top speed, will go 80 mph.
Europeans are SO much further ahead with this technology.
If sold in Canada, I will buy one.
