    Looks a little goofy to me, but it's interesting to see that this is in the works!

    I wonder if it was weighed with or without left side doors?

    That's not bad considering the amount of glass. I wonder if the hole is where the mirror mount would be?

    I still prefer that other concept.. the iQ.

    The 1/X also features a green powertrain that combines a flex fuel 500cc engine and plug-in hybrid drive system.

    I like it.

    It looks like the newer VW Bug.

    Good catch. Would be nice to have a left side front seat too. Using all those tennis balls instead of front air bags might save some weight :p

    I guess we should also wear see-through clothing when driving this car?

    The problem with plug-ins is how to keep the cord from tangling when you drive to work every day.

    (Not to mention the problem other cars have with cords stringing out all over the roadways.)

    Other than that it's a good idea.

    I honestly don't like the look of this concept car. However, the lights in the front and back can be used to display messages such as "HI" or "PASS ME" etc...

    It looks like a giant see-through battery.

    1/X looks more like the mathematical function that the shape of the car mimics.
