BMW = stodgy suitmobiles? The Just 4/2, in 1995, sought to change all that. A "wind machine on four wheels," the blurb stated, the 4/2 was doodled by Robert Powell for an in-house competition. Optionally clad in door panels, it offered Nostradamus-like glimpses of what Ariel might one day achieve with the Atom. Power came from BMW's K1100 bike - enough grunt to crack the thickest of bouffons.

The  cantilever door,

great machine for car parking in the UK with the ultra narrow parking bays, only damage then would be by shopping trolleys manoeuvred by inconsiderate idiots.

I like the Renault Fiftie. The original 4cv was a great little car. God, I am getting old !

All but 2 of the cars are horrifically bad. I actually saw the Hyundai SLV (super luxury vehicle) at a car show here in blighty and I have to say, it was (and still is) a gorgeous car. Very refined and luxurious. A shame Hyundai never built it (too expensive apparently). Another promising car is the Daewoo Mya, in the same category as the SLV (but never made, again for same reasons). What a shame.

I had a model of the copperhead as part of my dodge collection, along with the Viper coupe and the RT/10, beautiful :)

The Isuzu looks like a Frontera 3 door, because they worked with Vauxhall/Opel to design it.

the dodge Dakota truck looks like a redneck's sports car without the hogs and Grannie in the the back.
I always thought the Lada Cossack was a cool looking 4x4?. on the outside the Hussar looks the same as the Cossack
