Tokyo 2007 Preview: More pix of Suzuki's PIXY + SSC
Click images for updated photo gallery
Details on Suzuki's Sustainable Mobility concept remain scarce. As we first reported last weekend, the package is comprised of the PIXY single-person pod and the SSC (Suzuki Sharing Coach) twin-pod mothership. Short of concrete info on how it works, we do have additional photos of Suzuki's womb-like pods and their communal express ride to baggage claim... or the supermarket or wherever. We'd love to explain why the side panels on the SSC open the way they do (the sills seem a bit high for non-PIXY'd passenger access), but we can't, as the details are still largely under wraps. Speculate away in the comments while we wait for Autoblog's Team Tokyo to get the rest of the skinny for us.[Source: Suzuki]

That toaster only has one slot in it!
I hope all these cutesy pie Jetsons concepts are done for free by college students just trying to get their foot in the door and not by compensated designers and engineers. "No, we can't meet proposed CAFE standards but just look at what the future holds! Transformers! Cars that can climb skyscapers!"
Get back to work and design stuff we can use. (Actually, I could use a new toaster.)

I swear all these cars (concepts) lately look like oversized toys.

Did anybody ever see I-Robot with Will Smith? I think I saw a few of these in it. LOL

It didn't take long for the subject of toasters to come up.

Better yet, use the money to make a new retro Samuri (but not crappy this time) to tear it up offroad and be fun in the city.

Reminds me of the Toyota Personal Mobility vehicle or PM for short.

I saw a Audi R8 look alike in I-Robot.
