<\/a>Like everyone else, I was enthralled by Mazda\u2019s RX Vision. The Zoom Zoom company took the original RX-7 design and morphed it into an incredibly sexy coupe. Like the RX-7, the new Vision also had a rotary engine. If the Vision ever survives to production, I can\u2019t imagine the rotary will be a part of the final package. Heck, I don\u2019t care what engine they put in the darn thing\u2026 just build it!<\/p>\n The Lexus LF FC is probably closer to reality than the Vision. Although, again, the engine might change although for different reasons. The FC stands for fuel cell. While the rotary would be taking things back to the future, the fuel cell is a concept that has yet to arrive. Yes, it can work, but that\u2019s a long way from making it work in hundreds of thousands or even millions of production passenger cars. Once again, forget the engine. The LS FC\u2019s swoopy lines show that sedans don\u2019t have to be boring. We probably won\u2019t see the entire thing, but much of the styling could be the future LS.<\/p>\n Japan likes its boxy cars and the Daihatsu Noriori maximizes that shape. The company calls it the multi-use commuter of the future and had a song and dance show on its stage showing how the Noriori\u2019s low ramps can easily accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. Of course, we\u2019ll never see it here. Daihatsu may be Japan\u2019s oldest carmaker, but it\u2019s been shrinking over the last decade so coming to America isn\u2019t likely.<\/p>\n There is nothing realistic about the Toyota FCV. It\u2019s a pure concept car to showcase potential technology and design. In the FCV\u2019s ideal world, its fuel cell engine will not only power you on the road, but feed power back into the electrical grid. The FCV is simply fun to see because it looks like it belongs in Blade Runner.<\/p>\n Finally, a tiny car called the Piana caught my eye. Built by a company called Style-D, it’s the modern version of the BMW Isetta complete with a door on the front (although this one swings up instead of out). The bigger change is that it has an electric motor with a battery pack that the company claims can recharge in just five minutes and deliver a 75 mile range. Not sure if they can deliver on that promise, but the Isetta-ish looks won me over!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
