    ... now here is a truly weird design. Article about it here. It looks like a cross between the Batmobile and a computer mouse. ;)

    Now that car is different. I wonder what the weight is and how does it handle? Your front end be narrow to allow it to be closed in.

    You will not see another car like yours at the stop light. You also won't lose it on a parking lot. Just look for the crowd off people.

    Couldn't stop laughing on your comment on the car being a cross between Batmobile and mouse. But it indeed looks weird. There is one more thing weird about the car, look at the front panel screen... It looks like a giant iPhone.

    Talk about inspiration. :)

    The thing really does look like a computer mouse. This is a design that will most likely still look modern and futuristic come 20 years from now. That's not common with a lot of concept cars/designs. If you were to look at most concept cars from the mid 90s, they'd look outdated.

    I would have to agree with all the comments here. It does look like a "Mouse-Batmobile". The lack of visible wheels just adds to it's "mousy" look.

    Thanks for the link. That video is out of this world looking...it sort of looks likes its creeping or floating along the ground. I kept hering a sound like thunder in the video and it added to the strangeness. It's only $100,000...we could all chip in and then do a timeshare and freak out our respective cities.

    Hey Sidney,

    It would be more like mouse-mobile... :) .... Whatever we say, the fact is that the interior of the car has nothing futuristic about it.... Very plain and odd, if you ask me... That said, we can't rule out what the next generation may like..

    Maybe the cars that we have now will still be the norm in the next 20 years. Because if the masses don't like the futuristic models, then there will be no demand, so such models will be shelved.

    So maybe this is the "Mousemobile ", since it really does look like a cross between a mouse and the Batmobile.
    I would certainly catch people's eyes to be driving that car down the highway.
    Two things it made me wonder though....
    How do you check/change a tire, and it is so low to the ground, it would be difficult (or impossible) to take it though a parking lot with those speed bumps in the pavement.
    I have enough trouble doing that with the little Cavalier, since it is low to the ground, but I am a confirmed pickup person.
