    Looks like the driver seat is positioned higher than the passenger compartments, which would help explain the overlaps. The higher position will give drivers a false sense of security and superiority, a great formula for sales success. Well done!

    Maybe some of the Lady-Jalops could chime in on this; how would a woman wearing a skirt, um, gracefully get in this car without becoming an NSFW tagged curiosity on this site?

    I appreciate the packaging for sure, but in a (hopefully) mass market vehicle such as this, I think the above, seemingly mundane question has some merit.

    How about the iDon'tHaveAnOriginalThoughtInMyHead...?

    That being said, I do like the idea of the 3 seater layout.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: iDon'tHaveAnOriginalThoughtInMyHead

    Is that in reference to the McLarenesque seating arrangement?

    Cause it is an original idea-- his.

    For the sake of my unborn children, I'm glad they're going with a push button transmission instead of a gear lever; sitting in one of the 'back' seats would otherwise be asking for an elbow to the balls.

    I used the same layout in my thesis project back in the good ol' days of trans design school. Mine was more of a "driver and two-seat lounge" setup, but either way I'm glad to see Gordon bringing it back.

    It really is a great seating package and I think it makes a lot of sense for a narrow city car.

    I don't care what you do, adding the letter I (in lower case or otherwise) to the beginning of another word does not make for a cool product.

    I love a super car as much as the next guy, but I also appreciate the fact that the current discussions about economy, alternate fuels and all that are making designers and engineers think again. Not just think about how that crease on the fender should look, but think about the entire concept of what makes a car a car. I'm a bit bored with the whole three box thing. I enjoy seeing these types of designs and I hope some of them get made if for no other reason than the fact that they add variety to the landscape.

    This will be perfect... if you're a tight knit family of contortionists. Obviously this is not for long trips, but how long can you drive while sitting on your passengers' legs?

    @TimTim: I suspect the high seating position combined with an appropriate seat design will yield room for passenger legs. We'll have to see though.

    @Ben Wojdyla: I'm sure they have the static positioning figured out, I was being cynical. Theoretical 95% men might fit no problem, but actual people have space bubbles and need to flex their joints from time to time. Unless you're driving around with quadrapalegic close-talkers this is going to get uncomfortable real quick.

    "The two pedal vehicle does not have a gear lever but instead relies on push buttons with the options of fully automatic or manual using Forward, Reverse & Neutral."

    Glad we're going back to the good old days.

    Pretty good for the family with 1 child, but what about the average family with 2.6 kids?

    (Maybe the cargo hold is for the 0.6 kid, AFAIK)

    That's one of the most morbid design concept illustrations I've ever seen.

    Who else recognizes that shade of blue as commonly used for gym mats, high-density foam, and other impact-absorbing material?

    The human substitutes, as displayed, will be decidedly more... squishy. And messy.
