    I like that concept. It looks like a normal vehicle.

    Looks like a MASSIVE frunk and I cannot fathom why but its probably just the rendering/angle.

    Looks like a Honda Crosstour, that was designed on a Monday after the designer drove a Subaru Outback Wilderness for the weekend, and was behind a Audi Allroad on his commute into the office.

    Alpha Motors is still at it designing cool stuff. If only they could actually make these vehicles instead of being good at Adobe Illustrator. At least someone should buy Alpha and make these trucks and cars. Here's their 'REX' model. I'd buy it in a second.

    It will be much, much faster getting to destinations flying directly at 200mph and avoiding traffic. It wont replace regular taxis but would be a good option for those who can afford it.

    Yeah it could save time for those that can affordit, I could see people using it just to try it out. I don't know what kind of insurance the company would be paying, and if there's ever the unfortunate event of a crash, would there ever be another company willing to provide insurance? I think it's a neat aircraft, I don't know if it's good business idea.

    Here's an example of flying time compared to driving time.

    Those times will depend on weather conditions, but if your flight is postponed or canceled that might not matter.

    Yawn. So much for a retro redo. Other than the name and gullwing doors…doesn’t really scream “Delorean”

    If it was an ICE engine, it would look much different.

    They could of kept some design elements of the original. Don’t really see the point of using the name, seems doomed anyways. If they remade the Titanic would you book a cruise on it. :)

    The exterior looks like a 1st gen M6, that wrap around dashboard looks like it was designed by the clam from the little mermaid.
