This is The Opposite Locker - FarOut Fridays where we try and sort out the cool from the square when it comes to the automobiles of tomorrow (concept cars). This is a discussion system detailing how cool a car is, not how fast, fun, or frivolous it may be, but how well it looks in the cat's pajamas.

But, you may be asking, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The coolness of a concept car is as much about what the concept can spawn when the ideas and design theories reach the marketplace as it is about the car in its current state holding use in one of our current hypothetical lives.

Uncool

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - Lamborghini went all out with this one, and by "all out", I mean they let some 10-year-old design it, then they fed it to a dog. There is no way to pick up chicks in this car because it only has one seat with a closed cockpit; forever alone. Uncool.

This Audi Sport Quattro Concept car seems to be the first horse out of the Auto Union in recent years not suited for your twice-removed professional-hairstylist aunt, yet it does try and fit the bill of your overly-earth-conscious gay uncle with its hybrid system. Although, the lack of massive vents and wings add a sort of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to the styling and attitude of the car.

So, is this concept doomed for a 4-cylinder engine, that only puts out 130 horsepower, paired with the new trendy hybrid system that makes it no better than a German Prius?

I really, really like this. If they don't make it into the new TT I'll be annoyed.

For me, concept cars are fairly pointless if they don't make production. They're good for drumming up interest, but it just leaves me flat when they're not actually made.

I'm with BiTurbo. Vaporware until production version is unveiled. Drawing super cool cars is a lot easier than making one a reality. Case in point: concept Volt v. production Volt.
