Click above for more pics of the Magna Mila Alpin concept
Three years ago, Magna Steyr debut what it called the Mila concept car -- Magna Innovation Lightweight Auto. Conceived as a pure driver's car, it was an environmentally-conscious single-seater that ran on natural gas up to 120 mph. Last year around this team, Magna followed up the Mila CNG with the Mila Future, a further evolution of the concept that bore two seats, completely covered wheels and an impossibly complicated folding hard top. For the next evolution of the MILA, Magna apparently thought that no one was serving the mountain climbing concept car market and stepped up to the challenge. The Mila Alpin is a chunky little off-road number that can climb 45-degree angles, runs on CNG, has 3+1 seating and what looks to be a seriously small turning radius. We hope the Magna stand in Geneva has a model Matterhorn so we can try it out. For now, you can check out images of the Mila Alpin concept below.

Reminds me of a snowmobile with a roof and wheels instead of tracks or sleds.

The only sad thing about all these new innovations is its affordability. In the country these vehicles are built they are most cost effective and priced for everyone to own one. By the time it gets to this country it more than doubles in price. Its like no one really takes Global Warming serious! If politicians and Im talking both Dem's and Rep's are serious then get a car like this that the poorist of americans can afford! Stop the Double Talk and give the tax breaks to the Working Folks and get them driving these vehicles instead of the old 73 Doge Van or Ford LTD's! If the working class drove these then the cost of fuel would go down! Now days the only people that can afford new technology are those that just do it to feel good not that they are being hurt by high gas prices!!!
