and, discuss...

damned if you do, damned if you dont

women drivers, lol

I can understand the part about the ponytail because it helps customers that have them and people that don't won't notice too much.

The flip down seats in the back are also a good idea. Volvo did research and found that the backseat is used more for tossing crap than people so it makes sense.

The part where there is no hood so you can't access the engine. WTF!? How is it more ergonomical not to have a hood or easy access to the engine which does indeed need to be looked at every once in a while.

Wait, where do I put my purse?

really....took you like 5 years.

Anywho, i liked quite a few of the features, such as not forcing a purse to be placed at the feet, or in the passenger seat. not a huge fan of gull wings for efficiency, they always just seems weird i guess. Also i am kinda fond of making the engine impossible to get to. The vast majority of people I know that open up a hood when something goes wrong have no idea what to do. They check the oil and windshield wiper fluid, and then get themselves in trouble. Not saying I want to see it in production, but I did like the idea. Really any car that only needs for me to look at it every 30,000 milles is pretty good in my book. Overall one of the cooler concepts cars.

one of the many "women-first" features

I don't know where they got the idea that Gull Wings were more efficient. Cars with Gull Wing Doors are almost impossible to get out of in a garage (as in car park garage)
