Really love that Verve concept, too bad the actual production version will most likely not look anywhere near as cool.

Ford should make a "Bold Move" and release the Verve EXACTLY as it appears in the pictures. Interior and all.

Verve looks like a Civic Sedan/FCX - but i think it looks good.

LFA roadster looks hot.

Isn't that just the next-gen Focus? Looks like a small Mondeo.

I know it looks like a cool gimmick to some, but does anyone else wonder what a transparent polymer glass roof like the one on the Verve does to survivability in a rollover situation?

It goes 2 ways, People always say build it as is, who cares about sunburns and rollver death rates, it looks cool.
And a manufacturer shouldnt show people cool shit like that unless it has plans to build it.

It's a nice design...don't get me wrong...but it's not mind-blowing as far as supercars go.
