The Cars of Tomorrow
Concept cars are as close as the auto industry gets to haute couture. Design and engineering teams - the same ones that churn out sensible sedans like pantsuits - build these prototypes with an eye toward starting vehicle trends, showcasing R&D efforts, and in some cases, introducing features already on the way to dealers' lots. What's big this season? British mod, Japanese pop futurism, pet care, and hospitality. It's enough to make you forget that the boring four-door you've got parked outside was once someone's big idea.
