I think this is great, cars are grossly overpowered and under-optimized for their most common use. I drive a 4500lb V6 truck with a ScanGauge, and cruising along only takes 50hp. Without any figures to back up their eco-marketing, though, I'm a bit worried. There are some slow accelerating cars on the market already. Making an even slower car gets into the territory of "dangerous".
I know they might not be able to release numbers yet, but "our car is slow and doesn't have a lot of power" isn't going to help their marketing if they don't do some explaining besides "power = energy".
