It's literally called Lamborghini Egoista.

It's supposed to be a one off model that they didn't even sell

Saw this at the 2002 international auto show in Charlotte. I just want a nice big square convertible barge to cunt around in. Cadillac should revive the coupe deville

Why is this so hard? Would have worked as a new generation Monte Carlo and as an El Camino.

the only reason Hummer was ever popular was because it was a fuckoff huge military vehicle sold to the public.

The moment they strayed from the utilitarian simple military design (and platform) was the moment it stopped being a Hummer and started being the compensation mobile.

they should have gone back to it's original design and just stuck to that.

that thing just looks like a rebadged jeep concept

Every day I'm alive and this car doesn't exist as a production model is a painful reminder that GM and Buick have no fucking idea what to do with the brand and refuse to kill or innovate it because CHYNA

What hurts the most is we would have gotten it but Pontiac went under right before we did

>>17337650
That's one hot car

Why the fuck did these get destroyed again? All of the prototypes were perfectly functional and drivable, yet Cucksler confiscated them all just to destroy them, not even display them at a museum

Probably paid off by oil companies or something

The entire problem with the H1 was because Arnold Schwarzenegger literally begged AM General to make it. So it cost Arnold Schwarzenegger money. The fat Tahoes were considerably less expensive, but way the fuck less cool.

the oil companies should have loved turbine cars, turbines burn fuel like crazy
for example go check out the M1 abrams vs the brits or kraut MBTs, when it comes to mpgs

>>17331735
And instead we got the fucking Prowler and PT Cruiser

I came here to post this. I'd buy an 021c in a heartbeat. It's aged incredibly gracefully and I'm sure Ford could get away with selling it Beetle-style with continued improvement on the same design.

>>17331598
Ford is the last good American manufacturer. Can you imagine the shitstorm if they made this? I would definitely go into debt for that.

>>17341158

St. Louis Museum of Transportation has a running one and I believe there are a few other copies around the country, not all of them were destroyed
