Default Ford SYNus Concept

http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...01_ford_synus/







[/QUOTE]

"Clearly not the sexiest concept car at 2005 NAIAS, the Ford SYNus seems more military vehicle/bank vault/bomb shelter than around-town runabout. Ford must have had a collective head cold when they came up with the name for this one. Officially, though, the SYNus gets its name from being the synthesis of an urban sanctuary, and it does contain some interesting details for living in the "rough and tumble of life in the big city" of the future. "

not that new of news since they aired the making of it on TLC's Rides like 4-5 months ago.

I think the overall concept of the vehicle is excellent and they pulled it off it may not look too amazing but it is just a concept.

I watched about 10 min of that episode and shut it off. Granted I saw it on Rides about 3 weeks ago(I got cable about 2 months ago so I didn't see it when it was on first), but I thought that the clay design's they were making made me think of a armored truck. It really is a awful looking suv. And I never thought I'd say it, but it looks worse than a Scion XB
