Well, while you wait for Toyota to jump into real production, we’ll take this baby that’s available right now. For about $22,000 pounds (about 40 grand), you can have this Dutch beauty in your garage now. The Carver One, a single passenger (and two passenger in some styles) vehicle that’s essentially a covered motorcyle, but with real car cred. The flyest feature is its ability to turn corners on a dime in a very similar way that crotch rockets turn. It’s the best of both worlds - the safety of a car, the sexy of a bike. I want one - now!
Given all the gas price madness lately (projections of $15 per gallon in 7 years?), people who hit the auto shows are no doubt asking what’s happened to all those cool concept cars from years past that promised so much. Like the Toyota PM, the single passenger “personal mobility” vehicle promoted by Toyota in 2003. Guess all the money being made on the Prius has pushed this one concept back a bit.
B52 Audio Entertainment goes nuts with a prototype car stereo system.
Navigation and multimedia control in a single after market package.
Dual comes in with an all-in-one aftermarket media machine. The RBX8510, a CD player, receiver, DVD player, and tuner. A phone button connect you with blue tooth and a right-side USB port lets you connect to iPod or pull photos from your digital camera into the media player.
