Some future-shite concept designs

[Wilko220]

Stumbled across these and thought they might be of interest to some.

I suppose the example below is only slightly more offensive to the eye than what BMW have already achieved. There are some better ones at the link.

The Land Rover looks like a Playmobil toy.....zero axle travel.

The Mini at the bottom looks like a modern take on a Mini Marcos.  I can just about make out the heritage of design for the Traveller but I'm perplexed as to why the Rover has been made to look like an Audi, complete with gopping grille.

So the future will be even more non-descript and generic as the present age? It doesn't matter the least bit which emblem you slap on those proposals, it could be Dell just as well as Dongfeng or Dyson.

 

I know, I'm repeating myself, but the last decade you actually had a choice were the 80s. There were Lada Rivas and Bentley turbos, Citroen CXes and Talbot Tagoras, Rover SD1s and Toyota Crowns, Saab 900s and Renault 4s and everything imaginable in between. Regardless whether you liked it round, square, progressive, backwards, good, bad, pretty, ugly, there was something for you and you could see at first glance which car a manufacturer made what for whom. Alfas were for retired Grand Prix drivers, Cortinas for dads, Renault 5s for students, Volvo 240s for teachers, Japanese cars for the neighbor you didn't like anyway, Mercedes coupes for pimps, Jaguars for night club owners, 3-series Bimmers for bouncers and Opel Kadetts for secretaries.

Maybe it's only me, but I epically fail to understand for whom those concepts are intended and there certainly isn't one for me.

Fancy a new Leyland? Can't hold back the excitment of driving a new vehicle with the Leyland "Plughole of Dreams" roundel on the steering wheel?

Head to India

 

The Hinduja Group flagship, Ashok Leyland today launched the STILE, a stylish Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) based on a contemporary, award-winning vehicle platform.

Available in metallic beige. Wonderful

Honestly, some of those look like you've given a colour blind bat a packet of Crayola's and told to draw something that doesn't look like a car in the most vivid colours imaginable. On LSD.

 

I've seen some of the crap these car design graduates have come up with. They all look the same. About 5 inches high, wheels that defy all known laws of gravity, a cockpit that would only accommodate a proton, no visible windows or doors, and machete-like edges that would have the Chinese NCAP chaps guffawing at how unsafe they look - and after four years of 'studying', it all goes in the bin and the bean counters OK another jelly mould, Kia derivative.

This:


is what they mange to come up with?

A friend of mine did this:


 
in 1963!
 
That's 50 years ago.
Well, at least back then the idea of propelling an automobile with an engine was still politically correct, because EVERYTHING was nicer and better in ye goode olde dayse.

 

I just shit on them idiots nowadays with their newfangled nonsense. I just do. I have no respect for them whatsoever. Dull, unimaginative, incompetent bumblers, the whole lot of them. Trouser hanging half down their arse, but they think they are so creative.

[Junkman]

If these are harbingers of things to come, the future of shite will be truly golden beige.

Citroen have always been a bit barking, some of their concepts were so wide of the mark as to be in another land entirely, whereas some were quite like the production vehicle...

The 1997 idea for the C3...

 

The Berlingo Multispace was originally conceved as a "youth" utility vehicle before the bean counters decided it would be better marketed at people who cant keep their trouser snake under control...

 

The Xantia started out life as something from UFO the TV Series...

 

And the Eurovan 1 (Synergie) was part of the Eco2000 design group idea

 

The Picasso is probably the most easily recognisable from the design concept

 

And this little piggy became the Nemo

[brickwall]

That last one is the only sorta decent thing on this page. I thought the Nemo was a van anyway and it's been slated. The rest are crap and not shite.

[Micrashed]

The Nemo is indeed a van, but the original idea was for a "scaled down" berlingo type car. Rather than the love child of a K11 and Blingo it became another van, but smaller.
