:tup: I think that one would need a few strong one's under them to find these Car's appealing. Or perhaps maybe I have this back to front, maybe the Designer's was wasted when he drew up the plans lol!

So it's going to be a poorly detailed copy of a Toyota TF102 with a horrendous safety track-record?

Plenty of concept cars around here that you cannot own.
Here's something I'd say "rare" and you can buy it straight away (don't think anyone will be buying this anyways)
Mitsuoka Le-Seyde PS13.
Must be the most horrible car that i've seen.
Only good thing to say about it is the engine, but it just makes it worse for me as there'd be plenty of better applications for the engine.
Looks like a franken car with rear end taken from a 50's yank car, midsection from 80's car, interior from 80's low end Japanese car and front end from 30's car.
Just look how dull the interior is!

Mistuoka's been hacking up cars for years...though their Orochi Zero is one neat supercar.
PS13 may indicate to me that the car's been hacked up from an old Nissan Silvia.

GM EV1. I suppose if you haven't heard of that I can't blame you much...GM wants everyone to forget about it.

Judging by the interior, the whole thing is based on an S13 Silvia/200SX whatever you want to call it. Amazing considering how... unusual... the exterior is, that they didn't make much effort changing the inside.
I'd heard of the EV1 and it's ridiculous that GM crushed virtually all of them. Everyone that ever drove them loved it and proclaimed it the future... and then GM killed them and gave up on EV technology until the Volt came along. Just imagine how far they could have got with the concept had they bothered continuing with it...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-Daimler-Puch
Steyr-Daimler-Puch was an Austrian company, producing stuff including guns, tractors, motorcycles, and, of course, cars. They did some pretty sweet stuff, as it were:
They did a version of the Fiat 500 where they replaced only the engine, with the tastiest model offering 41 hp!
They worked with Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Puch, as it were) to make the Gelandewagen:
And they have made some awesome off-roaders, my favourite the Haflinger (named after a horse) for its use of "portal axles" to get huge ground clearance (and generally everything else) from modest hardware:
Awesome company! I love how they make the Fiat 500 faster without adding any stupid look-fast parts. EDIT: for the record, only the engine on the last 'car' came from Fiat 500. Didn't realize how the comment would look... Also, did you know there exists a 2-litre G-Wagen? Slllloooowwwww

They should have stuck to it being a three-door. (they didn't do the Matiz as a three-door did they?)

Interesting find 👍 I quite like the Seicento but I've never minded the Matiz either... it's just weird to think that it could have been a Fiat. Objectively, the Matiz was probably the better car of the two, but then the boxy Cinquecento on which the boxy Seicento was based was supposed to be a lot of fun so maybe they didn't want to mess with a winning formula.
No. But 5-doors isn't such a bad idea, and for an upright shape like the Matiz probably works better. At the very least, you'd want a choice of 3 or 5 doors.
