2003 Ford Model U
More often than not, my focus in the auto industry sharpens in on the prototypes. The futuristic vehicle that is full of promise, and more importantly vision. It is these very concepts that contain the technology we will see five years from now on the showroom floor. Prototype vehicles allow the thinkers and engineers to explore and challenge themselves. Without such visionaries we would never have seen mini-TV screens providing headache-free car trips for Mom and Dad, let alone fuel efficiency and ultra-low emissions in that same SUV that would embarrass a compact car of the 1970's.
