A co-worker of mine (not really a car guy, definitely a bike guy) mentioned that Quant (cough *bullshit* cough) concept, and I told him it reminded me of the Pininfarina Sintesi from 2008. He didn't know what I was talking about.
To me, there's something really 70s about the look— a little Citroen SM, a little Lambo Espada, and a sprinkle of Birdcage concept on top. Way nicer than the Quant in every way, if you ask me.
Really a damn-fine proportion for a true 4-seater, thanks to a fuel-cell/electric drivetrain that spread components throughout the car, allowing them to package the components around the passengers. Power was claimed to be around 700HP.
But, really, it just looks so damn fine. The Red Dot Award design committee thought so, too, as it won in 2008.

Not sure why, but it reminds me of an elongated CR-Z.

Heyyyyy I remember this one!
It does look like the CRZ. But Pininfarina created the design before Honda released the CRZ.

It looks much better than the CRZ. By like a million miles.

I'd totally drive one of those. It's like... a modern wagon.

It could use a tiny bit more ground clearance, a rear window with a large hatch, and rear doors that open independently, that'd be ideal. But I'd still take it as is.
