@Luke Magnifico, most concept cars look awesome, might even have some awesome specks, but are nowhere near production reliable. They’ve been so tooled and hand buffed and spit polished that they’d really come out to hundreds of thousands of dollars per car even after economy of scale considerations.

Upjumping a glorified prototype to actual production would take another year and billions of dollars; or alternatively make a highly unreliable car that might fall apart in the rain, or in a slight breeze, or not actually live up to safety standards, who knows. Given that the prevailling joke about jaguars already is that you need to own three of them because on any given day two will be in the shop, I can see why Jag isn’t rushing to dump these on the market.

I’m not saying that no concept car has been either practical or marketable. I’m just saying that they are the equivalent of the 2 million dollar diamond bra at the end of the Victoria Secret fashion show — they were never meant to be sold by the thousands, they exist soley as an act of spectacle to draw people into a brand.
