For the upcoming Sao Paolo Motor Show in Brazil, Fiat will pull the cloth off their newest toy-to-never-be-made, the Bugster, a concept car designed to excite the imaginations of the nine people still interested in dedicated soft-roaders. It is, of course, an all-electric car — as all concepts these days seem to be — with Earth-friendly and therefore non-scalable technologies like natural fibers serving as the basis for the body panels. Basically it's got a resume as green as its paint. We were under the impression concepts designed for "x-treme lifestylz" with open air designs and t-tops had gone by the wayside when everyone got violently tired of the marketing meme "x-treme." Wonder how that will turn out for "green?"
