Interesting cars the spyker is one of the "Blingiest" car maker ever.

Seeing the Dodge Challenger in the middle of all those sweet concepts really makes it look like a backyard street machine. I think US car makers need to start looking to the future, rather than the past.

#4,
I forward your comment and add the Maybach stylists to the list who need to align their eyes with the other forward-facing parts of their bodies

Someone please let the air out of the Spyker before it pops.
#4, if the buck toothed Maybach is the future and the Challenger is the past I’m proud to be a luddite.
I’ll quote the bard known as Paris Hilton and give the Ford Reflex an enthusiastic, “That’s Hot!”. The Hornet isn’t bad either. It’s like an xB, but without the standard paper bag to hide your identity for driving something so hideous.

Yeah it's a little embarassing with having the Challenger there. It's like having Bo and Luke Duke representing the Americans at the really classy event...

Yeah,.. I was at the Lodge for the concept display and was really impressed with the Ford Reflex (although I thought it was strange that they showed it with a 'conceptualized' baby car seat in the back). The AeroX was hot as usual, except for the 4 hours that I was there, the canopy remained upright and we never got to see it work. That and they didn't clean out the inside of the Saab. Nice, but disapointing. The Maybach Exelero reminded me of the batmobile and Spyker,.. well it just isn't my style.
There's no question. The Ford Reflex and the AeroX were my faves.

Although it's a unique design element for a passenger vehicle, I think they could have come up with a better design for the exhaust pipes on the Ferrari.
I immediately thought "Peterbuilt" when I saw those things...

I noticed that you took the space to put photos of Chrysler's Faux Phantom, but you did not show the Rolls-Royce 101EX Experimental Coupe which was also on the Concept Car Lawn. I admit to being somewhat prejudiced as I would for Rolls-Royce, but the 101EX is definitiely a concept car and a fully operational one at that. I thought you readers might want to look at it as well. I have photos if you need them.

From all those great cars Ferrari 612 P4/5 is fantastic.

ok, that spyker suv was a giant abomination of the c8 spyder, it being with the same rims. I really like the spyder, but that thing was...words cant explain how stupid and horrible that concept was. On the other hand, the chrysler imperial concept would throw in a super luxo car, much more luxurious than the 300 by the looks of it. The rolls 101 ex concept has been practically made before in 2005, i believe...the saturn sky red line and dodge challenger are already in production (or soon will be). The maybach one is just a completely crazy concept just like the cadillac sixteen concept...why do they make them?!?
Otherwise, the spyker is just horrible...
