Way better looking than that monstrosity Toyota unveiled recently, but looks
like visibility would be horrible.

They are so related to reality, but give me some credit. I know it won't
come off the assembly line as is, but they wouldn't waste their time with
the prototype, if they weren't intending to produce something very similar.

It reminds me of the Plymouth (?) Crossfire.

How about honey or sweetums?

Another reason why they have concept cars it to get the reaction of
potential consumer. For example, people really loved the Dodge sports
car, so they made it the Viper.

But it doesn't always work out that way. At an early autoshow, people
loved the styling of the Edsel, so Ford made a new brand.

They also try to show what they're working on, like the Chevy Volt.

PS, I don't really know if Ford showed off its Edsel at an autoshow. But
there are a bunch of cars that had great reactions at the autoshow, like
the Peugeot, but didn't sell well in the US.
