I’m up for car lovers to all get together and play. What I hate are concept cars.

They really shit me, especially the ones that manufacturers have no intention of producing. For instance take the Holden Efijy. This is a beautiful car, maybe one of the best I have seen, second only to the Charger. When I saw it I said “I want one”. But is Holden going to build more than one? NO! It’s like waving a sausage in front of a hungry dog.

This is what the manufacturers are saying with these ‘Concept Cars’. “Well folks, come and see what we can do, but choose not to. We’ve got the best engineers and designers and they built that car over there. But it’s not for you. See it over there? That’s the one, well we don’t feel like making any others, however we rolled that ‘one and only one’ in here to show you what you can’t have. Like it? That’s ours and you can’t have it”. That’s what’s happening here. They’re teasing us. They always have, i.e. the GTR-XU2 or the Charger hatchback.

But remember the days when cars were unique, remember when you could tell the difference between a Holden and a Ford instantly and not have to get up close to read the badge? When at Bathurst you didn’t have to write HOLDEN and FORD on the windshield because people could tell by looking at the cars. Remember? No? I don’t either, it was so long ago.

Let’s just merge Holden and Ford and General Motors Ford could bring out the new ‘Falcodore’. Cars now are on a whole boring, that’s why older cars and expensive European cars are such head turners, they look like themselves, not everything else on the road. How about the new Jag it looks like a ‘Falcodore’. From the people who bought us the E-type and the XJS, here’s the new ‘same as everything else’. Who is responsible for that great idea?

Well I say we find out who it was, grab them and drag them to a plastic surgeon. Who we’ll get to bland out all their features so they look like that weird shape changing guy on Star Trek Deep Space 9. Or we could just kick them in the balls, whatever is easier. And small cars, man is there just one factory and at the end of the production line 15 buckets containing different company’s emblems? 

Come on people lets get a bit adventurous in the design department, so that every new model is a ‘concept’, we know you can do it, you keep showing us.
