The fact that there is someone out there who would even think to design a car so ugly, makes me scared.

It looks like it can talk to you :laugh:

A talking vehicle would scare me.

Nice, an uglier version of the Element, at 7 times the cost.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why all these ultra-low emission cars have to look so damn ugly? It's like no one will take it seriously unless it looks like total crap. Why can't automakers just put all this great technology in a modern looking vehicle?? I just don't get it.

Maybe reducing drag = ugly design?

Chicks would dig that car. It's rather "cute". It is just a concept, so I doubt we'll see them on the showroom floor.

Top Gear talked about this on the news 2 or 3 years ago. The data they had said that it used goat (or some other animal) urine to clean the emmisions. Clarkson made fun of it for a few minutes and then they moved on.
