Way too skinny for me...
No 5'10, 36-24-36 for me...
Give me, 5'5" 38DD(D), 24- 44... I'll handle the rest!

400 HP Hybrid?! Hmm, looks like my prediction of a Hybrid that can dust off a Mustang will arrive sooner, rather than later...

What I don't get about all these concept cars is the big wheels/tires barely tucked in the wheel wells. They look sexy and all but realistically come on. That Challenger concept could barely turn it's wheels without rubbing (if I remember reading that article correctly) when it was first displayed for the magazines to review.

Wheel well gap is not sexy, and the manufacturers know that...
Also, if you take a look at the German cars, they always have an aggressive stance, with hardly any wheel well gap (less than 2 inches, especially on a BMW).. They find a way to turn, absorb bumps, ride and handle well... I'm sure other could too, if they wish...
But on that Challenger, I agree, unless they've tunnelled the firewall, its not going to turn. Not without rubbing- top of the tires are actually under the body.

In both concept and production vehicles, those attending the show from Saturday to Jan. 21 at Cobo Center will find automakers are setting the mood -- with new in-cabin lighting.
The most obvious example is Ford Motor Co.'s Airstream concept crossover that features a circular viewing screen in the middle of the cabin. The 360-degree monitor shows a roaring fire and a soothing lava lamp, and could play movies for viewers sitting on three sides.
