The early, early VW's started with 25hp. It's not so much in the HP as it is the HP:weight, and the gearing. 33hp is enough to get to highway speeds if the car weighs under 2000lbs. I think my last 2.5 Jeep had around that, or felt like it anyways.
I too, am scared of small disposable cars. But, it would be interesting if brought to market. What's scarier, a $3000 disposable vehicle, or needing to take out a 2nd Mortgage to buy a new Toyota?
