That's my entire problem with certain car companies, especially Japanese ones. They're too busy designing cars that will help the driver forget they are supposed to be driving. It seems that only the Europeans and certain American companies are still building cars that are meant for people who love to drive; cars that require attention every second you're behind the wheel.
But even Volvo(I think), who has a couple good performance cars, had a concept car "built by women, for women."
Knowing women, it probably had a full make-up kit in the dash, a dvd screen with Gilmore Girls playing in front of the speedometer, three phones around the driver, a tampon dispenser, and a bunch of other crap to make sure you do anything BUT drive when you're behind the wheel.
I just hate concept cars too. They're usually always ugly, but if they do look good they're either never made, or the production version will look nothing like it.
