I wish these "designers" would come up with some original cool ideas... I mean in just about every sci fi movie based on earth, there are some awesome concept cars (other than total recall, those bit).
Instead of making them all flash with swooping fins etc why not just build a great looking car, and then perfect the mechanics? Cuz without the right mechanics underneath, it ain't nothing but a chunk of clay....(for eg: the cobra prototype....)

I wish they would produce some of these concepts as they appear in their concepts.....too many changes from concept to production...
I have to agree with FF, it does have some similarities to the magnum but I also think it looks more like the crossfire....
As for concept cars going into production, unfortunately the automakers have to sell x number of vehicles in order to maintain their profit margins. Ever notice how all 4 door sedans look very similar these days? That's because when they do market surveys etc the public says they want a certain car, and the makers build it.
The market for a radical concept car is so small that it isn't always profitable for them to build it or reset an assembly line to produce a limited number.
This is a fine example of how most of the general public are like cattle and just follow the herd....
A fine example is the pacifica. It was quite a leap from the ordinary but I don't think they sold 10,000 copies of it....
