Default Akino Concept No Longer Drawing



CHRYSLER has unveiled a new and unique concept vehicle: the Chrysler Akino Concept.

The unique and artistically sculptured appearance of the Chrysler Akino concept and its one-box, compact size certainly turns heads. However, after the fifth person settles comfortably into vehicle, one clearly gets the idea there is more to this concept than meets the eye.

The vehicle name comes from Interior and Exterior Designer, Akino Tsuchiya, a 37-year-old who was born in Japan and is based at the DaimlerChrysler Pacifica Advanced Design Center in Carlsbad, Calif.

The selection of materials and colors used in the interior are composed of natural and recyclable synthetic fabrics: bamboo flooring, a throw rug, lighting sconce, mood lighting and even throw pillows.

The exterior features side glass that has an unusual graphic breakup while the rear glass is specially coated with texture to give passengers a sense of privacy and comfort.

[Chorus]
You don't know how sick you make me
You make me f*ckin' sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you, I puke
You must just not know--whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
You may not think you do, but you do
Every time I think of you, I puke

F*ckin' bitch



just a little quote from Eminems Puke.

I'd love to get one. I bet it would be a great commuter car.

Normally I would have to say "yuck."

...but since it is a DaimlerChrysler, I'm gonna have to be loyal and say it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

thats one thing, but when you get pissed at the company because you think its ugly or to many doors or no manuals or no 6.1L ram or w/e the bitch of the day is, that is the problem which is very common here.

Yeah, it was a thinly veiled barb at nickoman.


I guess my problem with the whole loyalty thing is I am an automobile enthusiast, not solely a Dodge enthusiast.

I'm the newbie in question. If I can say that I find the design not very appealing but at least it will be practical in forgien countries. But of course that is just my opinion so take that as far as you want. Don't want to step on any toes because of my opinions.
