The Hummer HX Concept: Hot or Not?

hummer-hx-conceptI will be the first to admit that I just do not understand the appeal of a Hummer as a consumer vehicle. Who the hell needs a Hummer, really? Do you plan to come across enemy fire in rush hour traffic? Think you might have to go medieval on another soccer mom?

I see their aesthetic appeal, but I cringe every time a Hummer comes rolling up beside me on the highway. I always envision the driver going all Marge Simpson and suddenly crushing all the other, slow moving vehicles under his or her ginormous wheels.

That being said, this is the Hummer HX concept. What does it have? Well, it can acclimate to a variety of different trail conditions, just in case you decide to tackle the Rockies or something — or to climb up on all those minivans stopped at a light, I guess. Fits plenty of cargo needs, check. And it is supposedly ideal to deal with various “passenger whims.” Those are what scare me.

Honda SkyDeck Concept: Definitely Hot!

Honda SkyDeck Concept Honda is one of those companies that honestly – is constantly changing and updating and that is something that I absolutely love about them.  You never – ever know what to expect from Honda and that is something that rocks!  If you are familiar with Honda products – you should definitely take a look at their newest concept design, the Honda SkyDeck Concept.

This particular concept is one that I am really looking forward to.  Not only does the Honda SkyDeck Concept look extremely futuristic, but it is also one that actually seats about six people – which is huge! 

Another thing that I love about the Honda SkyDeck Concept is the entire front-end as well as the windshield.  I think that this concept is going to become a reality.

The Bugatti Galibier Is Bold and Beautiful

bugatti-galibierThe Bugatti Galibier concept was presented recently at Molsheim in France. It is meant to be one of the most elegant, powerful, and exclusive cars in all the world — if not the most.

There are a lot of special factors about this vehicle — which there would have to be, of course, if it is meant to be so special (read: outrageously expensive).

It was inspired by several other vehicles and it was named, in part, after a very difficult pass found along the famed Tour de France.

It is made out of aluminum, as well as carbon fiber parts which are handmade and colored a dark blue.
