          It would be nice to actually see all these concept cars put into production

              The Hummer HX is a lock and something like the Caddy Provoq is very likely after their 5th gen fuel cells are ready ~2011. Chrysler is the one that regularly produces their concepts, and these would fit right into the mix in their new ENVI electric car division. Now that Chrysler is a privately held company they have the freedom to move fast. The Mazda Furai will be produced, but only for racing.

                  Hummer HX is way cool, very boxy. Looks rugged and offroadish, me likey!

                  The Mazda Furai looks very Le Mansish, very sleek very nice and fast. Probably could rise to supercar status.

                  As for the rest, I hate that so called "futuristic" look. It's so 90's and out of style.

                  That's my opinion.
                  Titanium is the new bling!

                      I think the Mazda's look sweeeet

                      The only problem I can see, is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of bootspace on these cars ? (except for the Hummer)

                          I like the Hummer concept, it looks like the hart top version of the vehicle from Halo!

                                          Racer indeed! The Furai makes the Batmobile look like this!

                                                      Plus it's a 3 cylinder rotary engine, which according to Mazda is supposed to be equivalent to a V12.
