Our site is down... Car Design News http://www.cardesignnews.com/ Our server is up (in Datacenter 2), but unfortunately our legacy EV1 nameservers are in Datacenter1... We'll look at getting redundant nameservers setup after this (never thought we would need them, and probably never will actually)

The smart roadster, while still ugly in a way, definitely looks a lot better than the normal one.

New?! Concept cars are nothing new.

Do you mean this HyWire?

For novel UI try this
It looks like in capitalist Japan Cars really do drive you!!!!

As much as I adore GM's new hywire, what I really want is a Hempcycle

There isn't even a prototype for crying out loud!

You mean this prototype? The one that was mentioned in the article I'm sure you read before posting?

The working demonstration model, named Hy-wire, is being introduced officially to the world on September 26, 2002, during the Paris Auto Show.

This has been in the works since December of 2000.

This car looks fucking weird.

I'll be damned if I can find it now, but I saw a picture of the Nissan Fusion concept that had a Windows 95 login screen on the in-dash display. I seriously doubt it was for real; whoever did the paste-up in Photoshop got the edges of the dialog totally askew to the edges of the screen. But damn, don't scare me like that, Nissan! I've been soooo looking forward to the new Z. Windows 2000, I could live with, but not 95!

I hate to admit it, but the Super 8 is the first Chrysler concept in a long time that I thought was anything less than awesome. In a way, it was inevitable. Chrysler design has been living on the edge for years. The Super 8 finally pushed them over. At least Chrysler will have the good sense to not put something that ugly into production.

If you're looking for something easier on the eyes, try the aforementioned Z, or the Chrysler Crossfire.
