Vote for me!
Okay, you’ve seen the concept sat either the
North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit or online (on Autoblog, of course). And you voted for either
the Dodge Challenger or the Chevrolet Camaro in our pony poll between the two
cars, right? And you also voted below for whether or not the Chrysler Imperial is a winner or a dud. Now here’s yet another chance to vote for your favorite concept, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal’s “Bag It or Build It?” special. White provides six concepts: Chevrolet Camaro (pictured); Dodge Challenger; Toyota F3R; Volvo C30; Audi Roadjet; Chrysler Imperial; and the Aston Martin Rapide (which he gives a thumbs up and, after you see the pic, well....) He notes the pros and cons for each vehicle and gives a (brief) discussion on how many of the concepts are actually close to being production models
Cast your votes! And give us your opinion of the listed concepts. (And check out the comments on the Camaro and Challenger on the Autoblog poll. Though the latter won, it did so barely. Regardless, the voters overwhelming want both vehicles built.)
[Thanks for the tip, Carl]

Saw them both at the show yesterday. The camaro is uglier in person than in any picture I had seen. It honestly looks like it was designed by committee. No real overall theme. Maybe it will get better in the 4 years it will take to get to market.

All of those are great concept vehicles, but my favorite of the show is not on that list. Of all the vehicles at NAIAS I think the Mazda Kabura is the one that should be built immediately!!! What's not to like in an ultra-light, RWD, entry level coupe? It's like a poor man's Lotus Exige. If they stuffed the Mazdaspeed3 turbocharged engine in there this thing wouldbe a beast. Best of all it is built off of an existing chasis and off the shelf parts. Build it NOW Mazda!!!!

Nothing against the muscle cars - I really love them. But the Rapide is the pick of the bunch. Simply gorgeous.
