What's Your Favorite Unrealized Concept Car?

My favorite unrealized concept car is this Cadillac Sixteen reviewed by Top Gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYsrXGbBMGA

Personally for me not putting into production of this Cady is one of the biggest mistakes of GM's managers.

Peugeot Quasar was kinda cool back in 1984, or maybe it's only because I was a kid and easily impressed by digital screens and all these mirowave-like buttons.

As MSP6 said Peugeot I remembered the best looking concept car of all times in the car history - Peugeot 4002: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe_tTJMLlTY

They made a prototype but unfortunately that was all. :(

i was just looking at the ford GT90 earlier, that thing could have been the new FORD GT but they stuck with the big bulky update of the original GT40. And for the guy above, Wait till next month when the Production version of the LF-A is at the Tokyo motor show, it's no longer just a concept.

I hesitate to agree with two postings above.

The Cadillac Sixteen: I don't want to discount it just yet, fellas. If the guys at Cadillac are smart, which I think they are, they will use a very close design to this for the upcoming uber-luxury car that they have planned, and that we have yet to see a rendering for. I will admit that the 16 cylinder engine is NOT what the market wans at this time and would be so bespoke that it would be too expensive and plop Cadillac in very unfriendly territory. I think a twin turbo direct injection version of the LC3 "Northstar" V8 (with about 600+hp) should do the trick. I think there's hope.

The Pontiac G8 ST: That's not a concept. It's sold in Australia and New Zealand as the Holden Ute.

Cadillac Sixteen. Hands down. If Cadillac is to maintain it's momentum forward (in spite of the debacle of it's parent, GM) it will need to introduce the step up, true flagship model it currently lacks in order to stay relevant to it's market and the competition. Hopefully, we will see some renderings soon. Also, the Chrysler Chronos would have a nice one to produce. Chrysler is another company that really needs an image boost and as a limited production car it would have done the trick. Not to mention that until recently, Chryco has been the most successful of all car companies in translating a car from concept to reality with relative ease and, in most cases, with little or no loss of the concepts original style and grace.
