I remember "driving" this car in Need For Speed 2. I wonder if this concept is a just a show circuit buck built with plywood and glue underneath the cool body, or if it's an actual driving example with a real V12 engine.

I've actually been in a few concepts, and more often than not - nothing is as it seems. It's like a giant toy car, with printed graphics for dials, and seats that don't actually adjust. A car's pretty engine might be a cover for a 1.3L hiding underneath just to move it around the show floor.

Nürburgring Nordschleife for sure!

I could always use a new laptop!

I'm not sure if the pun in your title was intentional, but Scoupe was also the name of Hyundai's pre-Tiburon coupe:

"...dealers think that this will help a potential customer choose Volvo over another make, especially a domestic, if she knows she won't be on the hook for creaks and leaks."

I would hope the standard manufacturer's warranty would cover the "creaks and leaks part." A free maintenance program would more likely cover oil changes and tire rotations.

I was thinking the same thing.

How do you simultaneously have a two-year waiting list AND extra inventory, especially when a company has such a limited and focused model range? This isn't comparable to Toyota have extra top of the line loaded Tundras while trying to manage stock levels of Prius and Yaris.

I need this watch to brighten my life. And to tell time. I could use a nice watch.

I want this!

You know what else has wifi, the ability to display pictures, and provide various data feeds, and more for under $200? Chumby!

If only they would create a version with a larger screen, and less silly casing, I'd buy one in a second.

The more I see of this car, the more I like it.
