Would YOU Drive One Of These?

[Pale Rider]

The Toyota Hi-CT Concept Car. Why does it have to be so UGLY?! And how would you like to get PLOWED INTO by a SEMI sitting in this thing? I'll pass.

I'd pimp that. Yup. I dig it. :)

Ooohh man Darin... how in the world would you PIMP THAT? The thing looks like an OUT HOUSE ON WHEELS! :laugh:

Imagine how odd it would look parked beside your low slung, aerodynamic Mazda. Night and day brother.

with legos? how?

inner city driving, cool.

[KarlMarx]

Where is that thingy that use to wind it up?

[diuretic]

Has it got a USB port? :laugh2:

[dan]

Has it got a USB port? :laugh2:

No, it runs on AA's.:laugh2:

[diuretic]

No, it runs on AA's.:laugh2:

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

[PostmodernProphet]

it comes standard with a pocket protector and hornrimmed glasses.....

[jackass]

I think for local driving it would be kinda cool. It may be ugly but Im sure it would be quite a conversation piece.

Short conversation. "WTF Dude?" :poke:

[Immanuel]

And I thought the Honda Element was an ugly car and nothing could be uglier then the Element. Toyota seems to be trying to outdo Honda again.

In answer to your question Pale... Hell No.

Immie

[Classact]

I wonder the survivability in a collision with a guy that still has the money for a two ton SUV?

[dan]

Short conversation.

That's all Jackass ever gets.:laugh2:

Anybody think this car looks like Urkel's car?

[PostmodernProphet]

on the other hand.....coming at at a cost of $20k and 330 mpg....

Why are all the hybrid/electric/good for the environment cars so damn ugly! There is no way you could force me to even get into that car.

Now that looks like a good car.

Because the auto makers have hired modern artists to design the new look of cars. They think that we want the boxy, coffin looking crap that they are producing because it looks "Cool". I think it looks like a garbage truck.

I can't wait for this fad to pass!

If they would make a midsize pick-up that was a hybrid, I would be the first in line. I would love to get the gas mileage.

But please make it look like a truck! Not some shoe with wheels on it.

Just take my Colorado and make it a hybrid, that would work for me!

D,

that is the funniest thing i have seen in weeks...............wish i could rep you but alas....i have expended my allocation....

Yeah, but what he is neglecting to mention is that the picture is lap #25 and he is just now being lapped for the 24th time.

[Sitarro]

It would be great for a Dell Webb Sun City retirement community but where would you strap down the clubs? The tires would have to be changed, no golf course is going to let you rut up the fairways with those skinny units.:laugh2:

You doubt my skillz. :)

I've held-off 911s and 300+hp Escorts in my car...which only has a 1.3L engine.

:D

[Hagbard Celine]

I'd drive it if all I needed it for was the commute. It is pretty damn stupid looking though. I take back what I said, I couldn't drive this and still have self-respect.

[Pale Rider]

That's what I'm sayin'. Somebody could T-bone you with a PINTO and you'd probably get killed... :laugh:


Diuretic: "Does it have a USB port?".... :lmao:

[darin]

I bet the chances of survival in that are better than those of one crashing, I dunno, maybe a motorcycle? :D

Kinda if'y on those odds. I've crashed on a bike twice, and stood up and walked away both times.

[Sitarro]

Well at least the cell phone is prominent on the dash, that is the most important thing for many.

Does it come with 20 clowns, or are they extra?

Phuck no, I prefer gas-guzzling rotaries only! :laugh2:

[darin]

Imagine that w/ a Renesis swap? Or a 20B swap? :D

Why bother? The thing has the aerodynamics of a cab over Peterbuilt.

[Hagbard Celine]

That thing looks f*ckin' stupid.

[darin]

aerodynamics would only hurt at high-speed. The light-weight would make it amazingly-fast. Think 911 turbo power:weight.

That Renesis engine looks pretty awesome.

I just don't understand the thinking behind making it so God awful ugly. What's the point? Are they making an automotive fashion statement? :dunno:

[darin]

Function over Form, Pale. :) Think of it as a 'tall' Mini.

The only thing I can see is, "it's so ugly it's cute." :laugh2:

[darin]

Just like me. :)

[Trigg]

Looks a lot like the little cars I saw parked all over Rome, except those were cute. I'd drive one if I lived in the city, no way would I take one out on the highway.


I have pics, but my brother-in-law borrowed our scanner and hasn't returned it.

[Pale Rider]

Just like me. :)

Seriously D, what do you think that thing would do on the G pad? I'll let you take a guess at it before I do...

(It can't be good.)

[darin]

Depends on the tires. With the tires I PS's onto it, I bet it'd pull .8+

:)

[Sitarro]

I guess it's not that much different from this..... they both sit on four wheels.:cool:

[shattered]

Yuck. It looks like a cross between a deformed pumpkin, and the face on that beat up tow truck from the movie Cars.

Hmmm... when a stock Corvette does .9-g, and only with a tire upgrade 1.0-g, I kind of doubt that thing would do much over .5, no matter what you put on it for wheels and tires. It's just top heavy.


Fikse 18-inch aftermarket wheels were used all around with a 9.5-inch rim width in front and a 10.5-inch rim in back. With even a modest increase in section width (to P295/35ZR-18 size radials), the Z51- equipped Corvette jumped a significant 0.10-g in skid pad cornering tests - from 0.90-g to over 1.00-g.
