What's your view on concept cars?
  I'm always wanting to know what's next.
  I like to aesthetically view concept cars.
  Eh, they're okay. I'm not a fanatic.
  Don't care about them whatsoever.

Hej!

Who here keeps up with concept cars?

Anyway, I created this topic to discuss what's coming soon in the auto world.

Enjoy!

P.S. I still believe the best-looking concept is the Renault ZO

I like to look at concept cars sometimes...Most of the new cars are just "green cars" now though stare

But this is the kind of concept I could get excited about!
It's a Buick Wildcat Gran Sport

It's going to have a 4.4 L V8 that will pump out about 425hp! I can't wait to see it up close! Hopefully it will be out by next fall.

I like to look, but I'm not sure I would even consider buying one. They look good, but not my style. I like to work the cars into something badass, not buy it that way.

Yeah, but you can always still mess with it to make it better. No car on earth starts out as the perfect ride.

You do have a point. Not all cars do start out perfect.

But that is one kickass car! It's certainly not your grandma's Buick!

The back end of that Buick Wildcat Gran Sport looks suspiciously familair. Can anyone say Corvette Sting Rey?

One prototype I'm looking forward to seeing go into production, is the very sweet Alfa Romeo

Me too! Though it too looks familar to something else, say, a Maserati?
(probably it would cost a little less than a Maserati, though)

Do you have the specs on this Alfa?

I ws able to find some more info on that sweet Alfa! Turns out, that WILL go into production, including here in the USA, but it will be a limited-production coupe (500 coupes in all)

The US will get about 90 of these to sell in 2008 as part of Alfa coming back to the USA. Price is still uncertain, but it is expected to be high.

It's not just going to be relesed in the US, it's going to be released in several other markets as well.
