    I didn't read the whole write up, so I'm a little unsure as to the functionality of the palm tree...

    Definitely cool, the wife and I were looking at these online the other night. Too bad MSRP will likely push 40K. I think the purpose of the palm tree is to wipe sand off your *** before you get in.

    Gotta love this quote: "In fact ironman was a name we considered for this concept.”

    no substance. Looks like a regular mini with a bunch of after market stuff glued on. I could see no mention of the engine. The optional top is low quality and manual. Not enough to command $20,000 let alone $40,000

    FWIW it's not really all that mini. It looks Jeep/FJ cruiser size.

    You put one of these under there so it doesn't get sunburnt

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    It looks like a retro throw back to the old "Mini Moke" that were popular in the 1960's.

    If it is 4wd, I would drive one - don't know if I would buy it though - tooo many $$$$$.

    The old Mokes were not 4wd, they just looked like a miniature jeep.

    They still have a cult following here and command good prices in restored condition.

    The problem is, it will probably never get made, just like 99.99% of all concepts, which is sad, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who things most modern cars are too boring and practical for their own good!!
