I was really expected John Madden to pop in and start babbling.
"see here we got this dream, dreams are awesome stuff and they have soul. BOOOM, soul, Honda has soul, just like Tony Hawk has soul. See, he goes up the ramp here and goes, BOINK! then goes up the ramp again and goes around, around, around and every says that was a dream and had a lot of soul."
Thanks to the commenters for posting the additional pictures and stories of cars I never knew existed. This is the reason so many people go into engineering in the first place.
Very. cool. stuff.
Seriously, a RWD smallblock powered pseudo-ute with all of today's tech thrown in.
From 1997...
To make sure the Rageous driver gets there, the communication link includes a Global Position Sensor navigation link. Entertainment is provided through the communication link by a CD pay-to-listen service that pipes in the driver's favorite forms of music.
Monitoring and control of these and other system can be maintained without ever taking your eyes off the road thanks to the Head Up Display (HUD). A track ball mouse in the steering wheel controls electrical and electronic systems such as the sound system, cell phone, heating and cooling, seats, and lights through the HUD. Additionally, driver information such as speed, odometer and engine conditions can be displayed on the HUD.
@Mad_Science: Nope. I'm Nissan. I'm going to do more or less the same thing. Slap an implied luxo brand on it, pricing it unnecessarily high, and make out like bandits.
@mlevere1992: "I'll tell you who's the hottest. Now you're gonna think I'm crazy when I tell you this; Gina. I can't get Gina outta' my head. I'm gonna be thinking of Gina all week."
@mlevere1992: The GINA and a few others from Europe (see the Saab Aero X below) are probably the most futuristic concept vehicles lately. The GINA get's bonus points for some seriously out there thinking that might mean something some day.
I wonder if the 2009 Cadillac XLR would have sold any better had it looked like this 1959 Cadillac Cyclone concept. Yes, the black nosecones were intended to be radar domes.

So Honda hasn't Soul Doubt?
Isn't Seoul in Korea?

Call me biased, but I think the OM617-powered C111-III deserves a shout-out.

But what about the Pontiac Rageous?

Just look at the interior!

Maybe that explains why it's the one crossover I don't hate...

Mr Krewson if you look good arround there are still future futuristic concept cars made.

I re-submit this, then, as evidence that even Mercedes tuners and rebuilders believed in our mid-engined future.
