Don't like it. It has a joystick and that is on the right side. My right hand is for groping female passengers. Not interested.

I sure do, but it seems to be fused to the Bank for some reason. If only I knew someone who could operate on it. Hmmmmmm

Two questions: 1. Do you want a girl who is attracted by your car or by your shining personality?, and 2. Who is going to fix this bag of electronics?

Its an old concept car. Notice they used bits here in there on their later cars. It has W220 headlights.

That center chrome console sure is a mess of MB-style switches!

I'll pass....looks like it'd need 10k a year in dealer electronics servicing.

Driving a car like a plane would probably be a great deal of fun out on a track but I think it would be too much for most people to handle on normal roads in normal traffic. All the buttons would have to be worked with your right hand which presumably would never leave the joystick...it would be good for this guy though

Lets get real with this. Personality is only discovered after a long time of association. Even then, as evidenced by divorce rates, it isn't foolproof. If you think the girl is attracted to you as a person, test her out and make sure.

You speak as though it will be a huge problem child. Back in the 80s, they predicted all kinds of issues with the cars. Some were bad but others didn't turn out so poorly. It isn't as bad as it is made out to be.

That is what they said about Fuel Injected cars years ago too. Bah! The carburetor is all you need. Rebuild it and you are ready to go. 8 fuel injectors means 8 failures.

but think about the possibilities. no center console to get in the way and no need to climb into the back seat of the car. clear for takeoff.

Very similar to a Popular Mechanics car of the future, they had an article about back in the 50"s,,, some things never change.
