LOL! I wonder what w209w114 thinks about this vehicle now that they are associated with Toyota???

Regardless of who designed it and what technology it is, it reminds me too much of the 80s concepts. I can't say exactly what it is, but I know it's not beautiful.

Well, there is definitely a coherent design language here, but it certainly does challenge the eye - and I would hardly call it beautiful, though I do not find it repulsive.

WAIT, I just thought up a concept in my head that runs on recycled plastic bags and goes naught to 100 kph in -0.1 seconds. Thats right, it was actually going 100 kph before you even thought to put your foot on the accelerator! It gets the equivalent to 1000000000000000000000000000000 miles per gallon and will have an MSRP of $0.12.

We expect to sell 17 million of these in the US alone (More than the light vehicle industry sales for the past year).

These concepts are actually modular and you can stack them to make living modules that will be the solution to housing problems in third world countries. (We won't charge such an exorbitant price outside the US, they will be $0.08 outside US borders, but don't think about importing them back to the US to arbitrage the $0.04 as all cars will be equipped with a GPS system similar to the Nissan GT-R that will disable the car if it is imported back to the US).

I forgot to mention the concept will have ceramic brakes and stop from 70 mph in 2 feet.
