That is sick.

Why do car companies make cars they don't slate for production when they are clearly badass.

I know they need to work on new designs and shit but produce the fucking things. How many dope cars do we see that never make it to the assembly line. The Car Makers just makes on and says, "See this, its perfect and we are not going to produce it. Actually its getting destroyed after this show."

Usually to test a whole bunch of experimental stuff at once and gauge people's reactions to it.

Maybe in a few years there will be a SAAB with similar windows or lights or whatever the hell is sticking out the back.

Something like that won't be put into production for another 5 or 10 years at least.

I'm sorry but the whole new concept looks are just plain ugly. The reason a concept car doesn't go into production is because it's just that, a concept. When car companies have that much money, instead of drawing out an idea, they can just build it. But in all honesty, this is not a good looking car; it looks like it belongs in a kid's happy meal.

Huh, cool concept at the very least. Jaguar released a concept car recently that they say will be the new S-type. Some concepts do become production, albeit very few.

i dont understand americans and their cars. european and japanese companies regularly produces engines that produce 300bhp+ from engines as small as 2 litres. you all seem to have this obsession with 8litre v12s that are actually shit and slow and heavy.

my dad had a 1995 saab 9000 it was such a sick car... saab has definitely gone downhill since gm bought it- the thing was a rig it could get through anything- we used to take it skiing in the worst driving conditions all the time... as much as i like the smaller cars (my dad almost bought a 9-3) i never really thought of saab as a sportscar company. i miss their line of practical, bomb proof sedans that also managed not to drive like SUVs
