Hi guys, from time to time, there will inevitably be some stunning concepts from major manufacturers that everyone drools. Was just thinking of it the other day, how many had been dissapointed by the "Gone-with-the-wind" approach by most of them.
Here's a list, please add your suggestions, then we will calculate them and produce a poll.
***Forummers NOTE***
Please provide 'feasible' suggestions. Feasible in the sense that the concept can be realize using one of the current available platforms from the manufacturer or sister company, and that the concept's drivetrain uses petrol, hybrid, fuelcell, electricity, natural gas or diesel; there shouldn't be concepts with "Nuclear Power" or ion propulsion kinda crap. (no thanks to solar or wind). Discussions on whether one should or should not be manufactured is very much welcomed, but please with points stated and personal opinions. Heated discussions is a welcoming sight provided people debate with facts and figures rather than calling names.
The proposed concept must be something the manufacturer already produced, tested, worked. Not something from drawings. (Manufacturer must have the capability of producing it)
***Spammers NOTE***
Please, do it for your family or yourself, just read.
THANKS.
I'll head start:
Maybach Exelero
It's simply stunning and i reckon it looks tonnes better than any designs from the current German Trio, it carries the Gotham city theme with it very well with a mixture of retro - sci fi.

Peugeot 908RC
Carries sort of the same theme as the Exelero, but it really could serve as Peugeot's retaliation as breaking the barriers of current buyer's opinions and reserves on French super luxury vehicle.

Audi Nuvolari
Pioneering the new Audi family look, it carries with it every inch of detail styling which should've been Audi's new design language.

Audi Shooting Brake
This should've been Audi's new TT; or A3. But they stopped it there and then. It's stunning, original; just as the original TT when it's launch in 1995. Unlike the current TT, which is a direct rip off. TT is not about the looks of the predessecor, rather about the dare to be different. The new TT defers all this.

Saab Aero X
A definite turnaround for Saab, and if it sells well, Saab needs to expand, GM got no extra cash to increase factories for Saab, sells Saab to other prominent makers like VW, Voila~! The industry will be showered with joy.
Saab 9-2X
Maybe not much of people knew this, but it's actually a Subaru Impreza WRX STi; in which Subaru is under Fuji Heavy Industries, which apparently GM had a considerable stake quity in. GM initially had the idea of cross venture in that platform to create a competitor for M3 in the luxury high performance market, but Enron-like financial plannings in GM had short lived this excellent cross breed.
Nissan Sports Concept
Please Nissan, produce this exactly as it is, starting from a 1.6ltr DOHC engine with variable intake, all the way up to a 2.0 Turbo unit; with pricings starting from RM89k till RM110k and we'll see a Nissan dominance on our roads once more.

Putra GTi / Waja GTi
Despite all the rumours all these years. I still have a faint hope to see our local manufacturers producing a high performance (okay, at least 200hp ?) version of Proton. It's a joke to have a limited production run of R3s, that none of the R3s had more than 150hp.

I couldn't think of anymore right now, but will definitely add if i have any.
