Getting out means we have to do stuff. We'd rather stay inside.

It's true, we are so happy with our FBs that we don't pay much attention to anything else (especially FCs). And what we really want is another FB, not a three rotary concept car.

But imagine taking that styling, fitting it to more or less conventional current production standards (including the mid engine concept, why not?), add an ethanol powered renesis engine and some "X" wheels and call it the rebirth of the 7?

^ It's real. What it'll actually look like when that year gets here is still up in the air. Motor Trend also did an article on that thing.

Would this be before or after they slap on a ton of vinyl stickers and a fart can that makes the space shuttle boosters look small?

That's no production vehicle. It's sweet but it's way impractical.
