I wouldnt want to buy it or anything, but rather keep it as a novelty item. You\'d get some funny looks driving with that thing.

Post by: project86 on March 06, 2003, 06:33:01 AM: That does bring up one thing, I hate the fact that the automotive companies create such fantasy cars and then they rarely release them. In fact, those they choose to release are so downsized as far as style goes that they look nothing like the vehicle that was represented at the auto shows. Just for once I would love to see an automaker create a car from scratch and follow the car from conception to production as if it were a fantasy car. So a few bigwigs loose a couple dollars. It wouldn’t matter to the general public. Who knows, they might just sell a few of them.

Hah hah. Why don\'t you try pitching that to the management of any large automaker. :D Let me know how that works out .... Hah hah.

Concept cars are supposed to be the wild extreme of a design idea, but they would not sell if they were mass produced. The public cannot change their tastes that fast. No matter how cool something may look as a concept, the person who\'s getting ready to put down $30,000 for a car also needs to think about how they\'re going to be ridiculed by the neighbors for buying such a wierd looking vehicle. Even if you don\'t care what the neighbors think, you also have to consider what strangers will think, and whether you car will be a magnet for car thieves and vandals.

In case you haven\'t done it before, I\'ll warn you: Paying $30,000 or more of your own cash for a car makes you a little more conservative whether you like it or not.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on March 10, 2003, 02:57:50 PM: I tend to agree, Cored. Before I bought my new Celica, I was not near as tight with my money and I would think about all the expensive cars I\'d like to own. Now I am paying on a $20K car and I don\'t ever want to be in this position again. Espically after I realize the fact that once I pay for this car, it may very well be time for another.
