This Jetta-sized coupe debuted at the Detroit auto show in January. The lithium ion-powered battery gets the car 45 mpg, and the car can be driven in full-electric mode. The four-seater with a top speed of 141 mph is intended to appeal to fans of fast, sporty cars. The back seats are separated by a center console that continues from between the front seats.
