The 2CV was a simple, cheap peoples car....this is a fashion accessory that will never see anything close to production....much like Noto, all these concepts are pissing me off.
Lighten up Francis.....

i'm so different... i love seeing the "what if's" and other outrageous concepts... people on here and other forums complain about these concepts, but they are what made me love cars...

who cares to go to a car show to see the next gen of a daily driver that has had a slight modification form the current model? that is a buying guide or car showroom... an actual 'show' needs to be entertaining, not serve a practical purpose.

this thing is pretty cool... and would give so many of the people looking at wrangler what they really need! just a simple, open air non "trail-rated" vehicle...

...but they're not "what ifs".  They're "this will never happen".

I still dislike concepts and am vocal about it.  Why show us what is possible, but then never offer it?  If we love the concepts that much, then make it to production.  Show us what you will do for us, not what you can't actually put on the road.

...and auto shows can have future upcoming cars - they don't have to be production ready right now...but they shouldn't look like this:






or



;D <--- to the last one

...but I'm totally ok with concepts like this:


^^at least it's a way of 'testing the market' with some possibility of actually producing it if interest is demonstrated.
