Honda may have copied from Toyota, or Toyota may have copied from Honda, but neither is relevant... What is important is where whoever started the trend got THEIR design in the first place, and that appears to be from a well-known household appliance...http://www.toaster.org/tmaster_history.html I wonder what the drag coefficient on something like those cars would be?

The Space Liner on the second page and the Bull Dog on the first look bad (removed). The rest of them are the worst looking cars I have ever seen. I do like the concept of the Pod. It is for all of us that treat our cars like a true member of the family.

Ha! That's funny... Reminds me of the Honda Element too. Although I think they got that design from an ice box.What's next?

The Unibox reminds me of those armored trucks.I like how the clear body panels are made for modifying to your hearts content. Brings out the creativity in people.I also like how the seats can be rearranged around the flat floor. You have the option of having them all installed or all taken out or some installed and some taken out. And don't foret the two fold-up electric motorcycles in the back!
