Concept Cars Depress Me...

[ExodusNirvana]

Because some of these cars look sick as F*CK yet they never make it to the consumer because of some bullsh*t. I look at concept cars in mags and then I look at a normal whip on the street like

Amen

Companies have been getting slighty better, i.e. the new Challenger, but you're on for the most part. Most concept cars get homogenized into rather bland vehicles.

That's why from now on, I refuse to go to any auto shows or watch any on tv. There are a couple exceptions though. Mainly, the new Camaro. Only thing I really see different than the concept is that the one that hits the market won't have the staggered wheels. That can easily be pre-ordered.

Those being staggered makes the look of the car, IMO. Helps w/ the rake effect.

I've never gone to a single Ny Auto Show for a different reason... I can't AFFORD those cars. Window shopping aint whoa. Can't even test drive them sh1ts. So what's the point?

thats not a reason to not goto the auto show. my reason for not going, or at least not going every year, is that its pretty much the same. i ready 4 different car mags every month. so i seen the cars they got their months earlier. its obviously not the same as in person, but its not like they let you get in them shiits are the car show anyway.

your right look at what happened to the mustang from concept to production it went from spectacular to cheap and bulky looking...

however the more expensive the car the better chance its going to look like the concept...ie challenger,cts coupe

and to a lesser extent the pontiac solstice...

and the camaro is getting there...
