Empty page.
Is there supposed to be script over the background image or something?
Full-page flash websites aren't worth it.

I've seen a couple of them on the road around here. It's just an attempt to out-ugly the Honda Element.

I kind of like it. To top that, perhaps someone needs to devise a polyhedral vehicle with an odd number of sides such a a pentagon. And asymmetrical to boot!

Speaking of asymmetric: Here is the most asymmetric plane ever built.

I think they're a thing of beauty -- but then, I don't look at a car these days without mentally counting the number of model airplanes I could stuff into it.

If one got rid of those four strange round things at the bottom, one could use cardboard instead of metal...and house at least a dozen homeless.

Oh, so that was it... Having Flash (and all scripts) blocked did make that web site go away. Agreed, it is really dumb to have a full-page flash site.

If you find this hideous, you cannot be a true American :-)

It's crap marketed to the tree huggers...
But we have it solved here in Phoenix, AZ, a city noted for many civic-oriented inventions...
We have added a new tool to the Fire Department safety equipment, addressing problems with accidents involving so-called Smart Cars:

It's aimed at the Amish market - though they should have painted it black.

I hate car manufacturers websites. Full of flash shit and short on specs. What I want to see on a site is (for a manual gearbox) graphs of mpg in each gear versus speed/rpm. For starters. Anyone ever seen anything like that?

I think vehicles ought to be named to generate cognitive dissonance eg: a) The Mitsubishi Bender b) The Landrover Freeloader c) The Lamborghini Gayboy etc

I don't think the Amish would be caught dead in one.
Seeing as how they like to lag behind the state of the art, they should all be driving '67 GTOs right about now.

Why not skip the middle man and give MPG vs. MPH?
Why bother with switchers when you can have a Variac?
