Tokyo Motor Show: Automakers show off new concepts

Most of these look horrible to me.
Holy crow, my work computer ate itself trying to load all these pictures! My uncle Mikey lives in Tokyo, and is nuts for this stuff. His Facebook is flooded with car-porn from the show.

It seems a bit inappropriate to be labeling the smallbreasted models.
The first one, the tricycle thing, that's a really fucking stupid vehicle. Tricycles like that are banned in the U.S. because they turn for shit and are incredibly unsafe.

IMO, this is the only good looking car. Everything else looks like a complete mess.

Of course, it's wannabe retro. But we've seen a bunch of wannabe retro cars in the past

and what's not to love about a boxy little sporty japanese tudor coming out of Nissan instead of their usual affair of cars that look like they were left near a space heater for too long? Besides, it's a concept - I'm sure if they tried to produce it they'd tone it down quite a notch.
That Tesla is pretty fucking sweet. I've sat in one, twice, and on the second occasion my brother was driving it.
Snappy as hell, and so quiet it's stupid!
Nonetheless, it's still a special piece of work.

I'm still in love with the Akira bike. I wish a similar design would come out, even if impractical.

I was going to mention this, the Camaro and Mustang looked like shit prior to realizing that they might want to touch base with earlier designs. To me at least. Terminator gen looked like ass, as did that fish bullshit Camaro.

I wish real cars had monitors instead of windows so I can kill people in video games AND in real life too. It would be so much fun!
I need more pics of the concept NSX, I hope they make it a little like the 2005 NSX-R

Rear-facing seats? Man, I'd be really cross if I was behind that car on the road and I had to stare at those little shits. I'd pass at the first opportunity
Tailgating protection?

Well ideally you wouldn't be staring at them you would be looking 12 seconds ahead.
