Unless there isn't any.

Honda just riced the production version and called it the concept. That being said, I like the color.

Of all the cars I've owned I think the RX8 had the weirdest/coolest concept

Still have to annotate pictures (FU Gawker IT) in order to post a response.

Anyway, Mine is a little weird because my vehicle didn't technically have a concept, due to an emergency refresh. Here's a concept for the 2012 Civic anyway

Honda's known for not changing their concepts that much, which is why I'm super excited for the new Civic!

IMO the 2006-2007 Accords look the best and the 2013-Present look fantastic. The ones they did in between looked like shit, except for the coupes which always looked nice.

Lowered like the regular Xtreme but with with the ZR5 crew cab it could hardly look normal. Also the dual rear wheels don't help... V8 THO

Looks very bloated from the rear.

So far as I can tell, the closest thing my 106 has to a concept are the design study prototypes that inspired the car it was later derived from, the Citroen AX. The larger pictures at the bottom represent the production AX:

And here's the 106 S1:

And, finally, the 106 S2, which is the car I actually own—though in substantially less exciting trim than in either of the pictures:

Current Q5 I don't think had any real concept stages, I had a 350Z and this was the concept debuted in the late 90's for the Z's return to America. Luckily not too many people, if any, were satisfied with it and it eventually ended up being what we know as the 350.

Yeah it really was. I think if you trace it all the way back it goes to the rx-01 concept which was a pretty cool little coupe.

Ironically the chrome finish is really the only thing that didn't make it to the production car. It's otherwise basically identical. Makes the concept more boring I guess, but whatever.

IMHO the concept looks like it got punched and is cross-eyed.

No luck, really. I could post the original Land Rover prototype for my Series IIa, but that would be cheating, with 18 years and three significant model changes in between... I haven't found one for the Benz either, nor the Falcon as such, though I did find this :

Possibly for the same reason there was no concept for my Volvo.

2009 Toyota Venza AS-V concept, done by Five Axis Design. (FiveAD)

A pre-cursor to the NB Miata, the only 1998 Miata in existence.

Although this concept came out after the NB Miata was introduced as a production car.

You must have an '05-'06 GTO then. The Ram Air VI concept came out in '04 because no one cared about the new GTO and they were trying to drum up interest. "Look! Spend a dealer marked up $45k on our car, spend another 30k in accessories, power adders, and bodywork, and it'll look like this!" That being said, I wish my '04 looked like the Ram Air VI.

There wasn't really a concept for the 8P A3, but they did show this prototype at Geneva, in 2003.

Also, there wasn't really a concept for the second generation Equinox, but there was this, "fresh," and, "youthful," concept for the first generation. Best of all, it was called the, "Equinox Xtreme."

There also wasn't a Trailblazer concept, but they did make this interesting twin-turbo inline-six concept, that was the precursor to the Trailblazer SS. I think they should've stuck with this, rather than the LS2.

This was the original 350Z concept that I think of. It was in Gran Turismo 3.

Very similar to the production version, but i'm sure you can spot a few differences, around the grill, the door handle, mirrors..etc.

The one I posted was from before that. They were going back to calling it a 240, they tried to make it a bit of a throwback but failed all the way around and completely reworked it.

Yeah, i remember that one, now that you mention it. Took you calling it a 240 to really jog my memory though! I had a subscription to Car and Driver at the time, and I always read every issue cover to cover, so the knowledge was in there, but I didn't immediately recognize it straight from the photo.
