The things they come up with...




Concept cars, usually created by auto manufacturers to show the artistic direction their models are going, are usually very interesting to look at. Not so much the above Mazda Taiki, unveiled recently at the Tokyo Motor Show. The high, ungainly lines and curves say "Half pimp-mobile half Indycar, after getting a Redneck lift job." It might be cool to drive to a Star Wars convention in, with a little Palpatine plush doll in the rear "window," but I have a hard time imagining driving this vehicle with a straight face. I can't even imagine how much fun it must be to change one of the rear tires. If I had to provide a tag line for this entry, it would read, "With any other car, you simply hit a deer. We chop it into steaks for you."
