Is it real or is it Memorex?

Back in the 80s a tv commercial featuring singer/legend Ella Fitzgerald touted the reproduction quality of Memorex recording tape, defying the viewer to distinguish between Ella 'live' and Ella on tape.

Fast forward to the present, where fantasy and reality blend seamlessly together in an endless supply of spoofs, satires, cgi creations and photo shop forgeries.

 Look at the article attached here.  Jaxonia could not verify either its authenticity or its hoaxability. The proof, however, may be on its way: Volkswagen has scheduled a '21st Century Beetle' unveiling for April 18, in Shanghai. It's at 7:30 PM; read about it here. In the meantime, read the article and check out the pictures.

While the original comment was posted to a forum in August 2009, Australian CarAdvice.com in March 2010 indicated �Volkswagon Introduces World�s Most Economical Car� that while they don�t have a great deal of information available at the stage of reporting that they do know however, that Volkswagen is set to reveal the world�s most economical non-hybrid car to shareholders attending the 42nd annual general meeting of Volkswagen AG in Hamburg. When is not mentioned. The single-seater is supposed to be capable of 0.91 litres per 100km (or 258mpg in the old measure) and can manage a top speed of 123km/h.

With a weight heavier than a motor cycle, this �behemoth� can do 258 miles to the gallon? A bit hard to swallow. As is the price $600! Is this believable? Even some handheld consumer electronic products costs the same and more!
