there isn’t anything like it, and I love the 28″ DUBS! I’d drive that, maybe on weekends. Something like that everyday and the general public wouldn’t be able to handle it.

I think that big wing in the back would kind of preclude towing a regular semi trailer, no?

They should put a bed on it and make it the next style for the Super Duty.. if HD pickups took a crazy turn like this, at least for one model, they’d be a cool new introduction to the truck market. mini-peterbuilt? ill take one..

hmm… put bigger tires on it, cut off the wing, drop in a massive diesel engine, hook up a really sleek tractor trailer, and you have the semi truck of the future…

Sweet mother of god! That’s AWFUL! Not withstanding the overwrought detailing and 2F2F wing, the entire design is a pastiche of cliches. And what happened to Fiat’s designers? Those are considered professional-level sketches to be distributed to media as background material for the concept?
My apologies for ranting, but after slaving over sketches for presentations, I find it insulting that Fiat would release drivel like that as presentation material to accompany that concept.
On the other hand, if its all meant as a joke…

those are some napkin sketches, pretty ****ty and though I think cooky concepts are great, you got to question the allocation of resources here (read: waste of money).
how about designing a Fiat that doesnt suck or break down instead?

#13, I agree with your comments re: Fiat’s that don’t suck.
Those sketches are marker renderings with pencil highlights. You don’t do those on napkins coz the napkins soak up the marker. That’s why I’m horrified – these sketches look like they were actually used as presentation level…
Although I will say that as long as it gets the point across, any sketch is a good sketch. I’d just like to see some killer sketches released as part of the presentation pack.
