Corvette Stingray Concept

Check out this video about a new Stingray concept model. I'm no car junkie, but this one looks great. I've always been interested in the concept models car companies put out versus the actual cars that people will buy. While most people would be impressed by a futuristic design, the majority of people would not actually buy a car that looked like that. Why is that? What is it about ultra-sleek designs that turns the average consumer off?



Now, the obvious answer would be price. I would be curious to see what would happen if car manufacturers made a futuristic model like the Stingray a low-priced product. Would people then flock to purchase it? My guess is still no.

There's something in our collective consciousness that prevents us from moving too far into what many would call a "futuristic vision." It takes a slow and steady pace to enact big change. But what if it was a sea change in the way all manufacturers looked at cars?
