Concept vehicles are the cockteases of the automotive industry. Concepts invaraibly look cooler, have really neat cutting-edge technology and futuristic control setups. So, needless to say, whenever I see something like the Toyota POD or the various ubercars that Chrysler has been taunting us with for years, I always want them. And they always fail to become reality. Pisses me right off.

i hate and yet love concept cars at the same time. love them because they're cool as fuck and hate them because like lagmonster said our chances of seeing them on the public market are next to nil.

Plus it's faster, more comfortable to ride (you get to SIT, what a novel concept), and can actually take you long distances.Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr.
