Chrysler Executives have thought long and hard about a fuel efficient vehicle that will stun and excite the Automotive Industry as well as those individuals looking to trade up for a greener ride.  After many meetings and countless hours of retrospect and discussion, a decision was made to reverse engineer the classic, the immortal design of "The original AMC PACER". 

These vehicles will be released in several countries at once, including Australia, Japan, India and of course the U.S.A.  New to the redesign will be an engine capable of 85mpg, Nitrogen filled 15" solid tires, and air bags in front and rear quarter panels.  Back to stay will be the almost 360 degree view in an interior of leather and suede, with a standard 6 spd transmission and Bose XLZ zoom speakers; an audio marvel, for your listening pleasure.  

One Chrysler Executive was heard as saying "This will put American Car makers back on the map"!

MOTORTREND magazine touts "THIS WILL BE THE CAR OF THE NEW MILLENIUM"!

Car and Driver said "Its bodacious and outrageous"!

LONDON'S Heathrow Airport is rolling out futuristic driverless pods to shuttle passengers between terminals and the airport car park.

Future ... the ULTra Personal Pod, described as a driverless taxi, is being rolled out at the UK's Heathrow Airport.

Relax ... the pods will be a much easier way of getting around.

Family pod ... each pod is capable of carrying four adults and two children along with their luggage.

View from above ... the ULTra Personal Pod roads at Heathrow Airport.

Drive away... the futuristic driverless pods will shuttle passengers between London's Heathrow Airport and the airport car park.

Space station ... the pods have a unique look.

Ultra modern ... the Personal Rapid Transport system was created by ULTra, Advanced Transport Systems.

Drive time ... Heathrow says passengers will have to wait no longer than a minute for their pod to arrive.

My pod ... by typing flight details into the onboard computer or swiping details from a frequent flyer card, the pod will take passengers straight to the correct terminal.

Practice run ... the pods are being rolled out at Heathrow Airport.

Power play ... when still the pods' battery will recharge and will use 70 per cent less energy than a car. Track star ... the pods will be a vast improvement on the existing shuttle buses which use conventional roads around the airport.

Door to door ... eighteen battery-powered pods went on trial earlier this year, taking passengers from Terminal 5 to their cars.

Success ... ULTra's first test trip took place at Heathrow on September 21, 2008.

Peek inside ... the interior is quite spacious.

Pass ... the test checked on the aerodynamic effects of two vehicle passing each other at maximum speed.

All over ... If the trial at Terminal 5 is a success, Heathrow hopes to roll out the system across the entire airport – covering 48km of track.

If you wondered who is on the cutting edge of futuristic vehicle design, here is your answer

Daniel Simon, God bless his skills and imagination, is the coolest concept vehicle designer this side of Saturn's rings. The future itself can't help but shrivel and scuttle into a corner when this mighty artist enters the room. Yes! the Future itself feels intimidated, knowing that it will have to come up with something as radical and smooth as Daniel's visions in a few hundred years.

Here you can see how much joy the curves of a properly-designed luxury car can bring to a blissful eye.

An "epic vehicle" is one way to describe the exploration Ice Train that routinely meets two dozen Cthulhu on any given trip (who line up for credit for a chance of ownership, on their unspeakable terms). It's big, it's gorgeous, and it knows it.

Stewardesses of these sexy vehicles are pretty sexy, too. Almost as groovy as the original "Joy of Flying" examples of the 1960s.

This is probably the most atmospheric and moody image that we intensely like (a "Hard Days Night" caption, perhaps?) -

Detailed to the point of obsession, sleek and sensual enough to be considered evil - these machines haunt your dreams and DRIVE your desires, prompting you to look on your current car with a sort of deep sadness...
