Here are just some of the concept cars released this year, with some being plausible and will most likely make their way to the roads. With others being designers just flexing their muscles. Which one do you think is the best?

p.s I know there's more than these, but these are the main ones:D

Back in the early 70's, no deadlocks, no built in steering locks, door locks made of putty, quarter lights you could push open as long as you were stronger than a hamster and ignition a 5 year old could hot wire with a paperclip, steering wheel locks were essential in some places.

Didn't know cars were still fitted with alarms, so irritating & socially unacceptable. Also counterproductive - because everybody ignores them, as best they can.

I always remember someone at college who was banned from taking his car - because the fibreglass whip aerial flexing triggered his alarm!

There have been numerous posts regarding modern headlights, principally that they dazzle oncoming drivers.

The RAC has investigated and the Beeb have reported on it.

Bedazzled .

I haven't experienced any dangerous incidents but do agree that they are very disturbing and uncomfortable.

Does new technology 'Do away with' the need for the patterns on older style headlight lenses, or is a decent proportion of the issue the fact that headlight lenses are clear these days?
