Do you remember that commercial that aired not so long ago that just showed some car driving around some curves and the guy with deep voice says in his oh-so-sexy way, "When does a car, become MORE than a car?" Usually, I would just roll my eyes and flip the channel, realizing that they added heated seats and an ipod port to a car. Woohoo! How "edgy" of you Toyota, congrats.
It seems however, that I have found the line where indeed a car may be considered more than JUST a car. I give you the Renault Twingo Concept Car. (see Picture) This car is very much directed towards younger people with music on the brain. The centre console sports a USB port as well as socket for your iPod and Nokia Smartphone. It has a mixing deck built into the dashboard! Why or when you would actually have need for that, I have no idea but it's cool either way. The central part of the dashboard has an analog speedopmeter which rests above a 15-inch retractable, folding monitor which, for safety reasons, can only be deployed when the car is at a standstill. Behind the screen are all the functions of a computer that permit passengers to log on to the internet, while a web cam is incorporated into the screen to remain in visual contact with the outside world. On top of all this when the car is at a stand still you get a pretty pretty light show; basically the car is bathed in a blue, high tech looking glow. When you actually turn the car on initially, and the engine starts up, the light goes Renault Yellow. Weird ya? Also, the seats have individual headphone jacks so you each passenger can listen to his or her own music. *RIDICULOUS!!* OH and I forgot to mention that it also has a 6 can holder tray that actually cools your drink while it's in the holder! This, my friends, is one smoking car... club.... thing.
