  1. The Nissan TrailRunner concept is pretty interesting. A combination of buggy and sports car into one. I think my certified pre owned mazda would still be a good car for a bout a year before I modify it.

  3. Probably the most amazing for me is the Miata Mono-Posto, or is it the weirdnes that comes out first when you look ask the used car dealers long island. The Toyota MTRC is the best and most believable concept that will be out on the future.

  4. Just look at all the concept vehicles! I know Japanese designers have this crazy stereotype, but this is too much. Still, you have to hand it to them for making designs that even american engineers would want to copy.

  5. There's always something that comes to my mind whenever I hear about car companies rolling out a concept car for the different car shows they attend. How are they supposed to keep those cars running? I know that they're usually just single-use designs, but I can't help but be curious at how they fix that if they have to bring it for a test drive or something.

  6. remember, it costs just as much to restore a old Japanese car as it does for an American one, maybe even more.
