<blockquote>[...]so this proposal is really more like one of those nifty concept cars from the Detroit Auto Show: It looks pretty flashy and some of the features may make it into a production vehicle someday, but you’re not going to be seeing it in your dealer’s showroom anytime soon.

What we are saying is that we really like cars a lot.</blockquote> OT - One of the benefits of growing up in Detroit in the early 1960s was watching as a <a href="http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/4\/49\/1963_Chrysler_Turbine_in_Hershey_PA.JPG" target="_blank">Chrysler Turbine Car</a> went whining (quietly) by as it made an unannounced drive down our street. After all of these years it continues to be the coolest-looking car that I have ever seen.
