Concept Cars

Ok its been forever since I posted. With Marty in town I got a little distracted. We had all sorts of fun, I may post on a few things he did later.

I came across some concept cars and thought they were so neat so I decided to do a whole post on them. It took days to put this together, little by little. My Favorites are the Chevy Camero, Caddy Sixteen, and the Pontiac GTO.

Oh yeah, I could drive this car. Doesn't it just have that Jessica Rabbit look to it? It's currently a concept car only, but one site said its worth $250,000. Yikes.
I don't think Marty will be buying me one anytime soon.

This one is definately a trip. The link above is to a site that isn't in english but has great pictures.
I did find thess exerps...

"If Toyota’s PM concept earned the Most Bizarre Concept honors, this glass microbus from Suzuki is the undisputed runner up. It looks like it could be driven in either direction, and perhaps this fully drive-by-wire vehicle could. It’s constructed on a scaled-down version of global partner GM’s Hy-wire fuel-cell electric hybrid concept (the one in which all the running gear is packaged in a skateboard-like rolling chassis to which different bodies can be docked). Six seats in three rows can face forward, or, when parked, the “dash board” can be converted to a narrow table that can be relocated to the center of the vehicle, with all chairs facing it for kind of a tiny portable boardroom effect. We were especially fond of the shag carpet. Only in Tokyo..."

"— it looks like something Malibu Barbie might be driving in about 20 years. While it might not win any beauty contests, you've got to admire those huge whitewall tires and abundant use of Avocado Green."

2004 Toyota Hiace Sound Satellite

The stylish design and spacious interior of the new HIACE have been used to create a “customized vehicle that makes work enjoyable,” billed as a multifunctional mobile studio fitted with an “open studio” and merchandise showcase. Open the double doors on the left side of the vehicle and a fan-shaped “revolving open studio” equipped with a counter, audio gear and other fixtures emerges on the left, while a fan-shaped “revolving merchandise showcase” emerges on the right. The vehicle can thus be used as a DJ booth, to set up equipment for an event, to display goods, or in a variety of other ways. In addition to its two large roof-mounted foldaway plasma display screens, this vehicle is also fitted with audio gear, indoor lighting and other equipment, allowing it to liven up any outdoor event.

Volvo Concept Shuttle - (Not off the drawing board)

The Volvo Concept Shuttle (VCS) is a vision of a future urban transport vehicle. The aim of the design is to create a strong personality, suitable for its field of use and built on the history and future of the Volvo Trucks brand. With its backbone in the latest technology and materials, VCS has evolved from studies of the drivers working environment and the different cargo types to carry, into a unique way of looking on commercial vehicles.

(Until further notice the project is protected by a secrecy agreement with Volvo Trucks.)
