The last car to do that to me was... Saab 9-3 SportCombi. I went to the auto show thinking it'll have the crushed ice-effect taillamps that the European versions had, but noooooo. For some lameass reason, they had to have the clear red reflectors. Out of blinding rage, I slammed the taillamp of the US spec 9-3 SportCombi, prompting a poor Saab booth professional to rush to the car asking if everything was okay. Then I gave a long rant about how the 9-3 doesn't have the awesome crushed ice taillamps, which must have confused the dear girl. Sigh... I think that was the same year a Mitsubishi sales manager told me to get bigger aftermarket turbos on an Evo since we don't get FQ-400s here.
Well. I was vindicated though, since the later 9-3s all get crushed ice taillamps anyway.

Really?
As in, "halitosis"?
Or "I owe Sis"?
Will there be an Iobro? That's actually cooler.

Roof won't make it to production,
Doors won't make it to production,
Dashboard won't make it to production,
Looks, though, Ford Europe being awesome, probably will.
Business as usual then.
Colour probably won't won't make it to production, but a PM yellow minivan is possibly pushing the envelope too far.

Ford introduces the Iosis Max Incredible Hulk Edition concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Dr. Bruce Banner, design consultant, has given the car eyes that will scare the Jebus out of small children. Other styling cues include doors that open out and back, replicating the arms of the Incredible Hulk as he jumps from building to building destroying New York City.
Power comes from a green 1.6L turbocharged, direct injected EcoBoost I-4 producing 180hp. To further the green Incredible Hulk theme, engine stop/stop start is now available. In Dr. Bruce Banner mode, the engine will be off at stop lights, etc. In Incredible Hulk mode, the engine will run with all 180 hp of rage available.
The Iosis is also equipped with Ford's Powershift DSG auto-man optimized for fuel economy.
Multifunction tailgate design will allow for easy loading and loading of dead hookers. For small dead hookers, only the glass needs to open.
The hood has a trick pentagram...I mean, pantograph, design which allows it to pop open to eject pedestrians that got in the way over the car and into the building behind you.

Maybe that's what they do at the LA Auto Show. They have an awards ceremony where they hand out awards for things like Best Supporting B-Pillar and Writing (Press Release).

Surely they can do it cheaper than Herman "I need a third mortgage" Miller.
