nasty!!!

 

 

no steering wheel!? Thats WHACK man.. i'll take my steering wheel over that gay *** joystick anyday!

 

Gross....photochumped?

 

yeah this may not be the best looking car or got the best rims, but damn i bet you those rims cost more then civic h/b. thats probaly a 100,000+ car just because of the options they have and the name BENZ. Top that....cmon now...how the f*** you gonna compare your little 3,000 civic hatch with a dx motor and some wanna be jdm "STYLE" products and AMBER lights to this mercedes benz. and you call this RICE? look at yourself first.......just because it doesnt have "H" or amber corners with black rims, its RICE? this car worth more then your yearly HOUSEHOLD INCOME.....

 

Hmm. No pedals either. It would be interesting to see someone atempt to do a U-turn with that set up.

 

that car is ****** ill, imagine driving it

 

that car must be ******* annoying to drive and use daily.. i bet it take 10 seconds to open the damn door and 5 seconds to open the trunk. horrible piece of ****.

and no i aint a honda owner so **** off with that "civic dx owner" bullshit

 

I wanna see a demo on how to drive this thing, because I'm not feelin this joystick

 

What a crap!!
This must be a work of Hitler's clone....in Germmany

 

Old News. I saw this on a SLK like 2 years ago. It will never come to North America or Europe for that matter for a long long time (10 years plus). The premis of the steering control is that of a joy stick. If you want to speed up push forward. If you want to stop pull back and etc. This will never happen because it is very difficult to keep your arm straight when excelerating, braking and turning. It is very difficult to drive straight and if you have to slam on your breaks and pull back on the stick at full speed you might turn the car at the same time and end up off the road or in oncoming traffic. There was a whole episode on motorweek about this a long time ago.

I wouldn't mind test driving it on a desolate road!

 

Seem like it would be a great idea for people that are paralyzed

 

funky

 

would spend that amount of money on another car.....

 

yea that thing is about 2 or 3 yrs old...i saw that car in person at the nyc auto show

 

also when they make concept cars they are pretty much seeing how the people respond to the styling...notice how that looks a lot like a new cl couple...

 

I remember seeing that episode...
it seemed like once the people got used to nto having a steering wheel they liked it..It certainly isn't aimed at weekend racers, but has everyday commuters in mind, and for them its not all that bad of an idea

No one will see anything like that on a public road for a long time, there is a certain safety issue that will have to be looked at as well as how easy they car will be to control over a long period of time

and for those that are saying the car is ugly..its a concept car, not production..it's purpose was to develop new technology and test it out...not appeal to rice boys

 

nerdsports, nice sig.
