The Seagull is definitely the hoax. Though the others are just prototypes. The top two need airstrips to take off and land so they are just planes that can travel on the road. Kinda lame. REAL flying cars are VTOL (vertical take off and landing) vehicles. The last car looks the coolest but the X-Hawk (2nd to last pic) is probably the farthest along technologically. It's based on a working model developed in the 60s, believe it or not. http://www.urbanaero.com/Technical_Info.htm You win! The Seagull is definitely the hoax. Though the others are just prototypes.

And Mercedez wouldn't make a 60's car into a flying car, I think they'd go with a newer version :P You wouldn’t even need to think about it, those doors wouldn’t close with huge jet engines affixed to them like that.
