Oh lord.. Why do car companies waste money on something like this? I do understand people who design vehicles like these on their free time for their own fun, but why on earth do car manufacturers do this?

If anyone had a doubt about the not so recent design supremacy Japanese manufacturers have earned, I think this is more than proof.
Where GM still play around with the basics, Mitsubishi reinvent the wheel, literally. The best thing about that concept is that it could actually work!
Notice how everyone presented polished renderings of the concept except Toyota with their medium-well Vexel Photoshop rendering which I personally find to be the work of an amateur rather than a real designer.
Once again I yawn at the oferrings of Toyota.
Pass the crown...

..kepe..hmm you are the sort of person who read a book from the last page first, aren't you ?

Uhh, what do you mean by that? And no, I tend to read a book starting with the first page.
What I meant was that these designs will never be produced anyways, so why waste money on them on times like these? If I've understood correctly, some car companies are struggling quite hard right now, and then they waste precious resources on this. What they really should be doing is designing cars for the current market, not some utopistic dream vehicles.

Very interesting designs. Car companies do need to spend the resources for this kind of creative exercises - however wild they are. Remember, all the seemingly "standard" equipments in our cars today began life as one of these sketch drawings.

Let's face it, the best designs come from the US and Japan, and don't tell me about italian cars, those are for girls or snobs.

US?
The home of the big and land of the cheap plastics?
The only thing the US has designed recently is a rehash of older cars...

it's funny cause tvr's look phallic. But I agree with the intent of your message. Automotive industry has always been flooded with "average" looking vehicles. I don't think that is a bad thing however, it just makes the good ones all the more special.
