So the FE is only 69mpg, but - it's a coupe/roadster/speedster.

I particularly like the back.

Like the MPG and the sports/single occupant commuter concept. The cab extension makes a big ol' blind spot though.

That is what I think you could do for a Honda Del Sol. If there are visual problems, you could use clear plastic (maybe not cool though) or a video camera.
