Most concept cars lets the automotive designers imagine things running around, but landing with a successful result. BMW had an idea to do something awkward, yet astonishing by molding a car into fabric. Instead of metal and steel, the GINA Light Visionary Model has a body of fabric over the metal to lets its drivers shape it to their will.

Chris Bangle, head of the design for BMW says, “challenge existing principles and conventional processes." The BMW GINA has been built on Z8 chassis and a 4.4-liter V8 and six-speed automatic transmission. BMW has stated that the fabric is resistant to water and polyurethane-coated.

Drivers can easily get in and out with ease by their interior, which actually is quite fascinating. I would encourage people to get this car because it is a different trend of designs from most other cars today in the market.

Used Pontiac Grand Prix


The Pontiac Grand Prix was first manufactured in 1962 General Motor's Pontiac division. Along with other full-sized car models, Pontiac also used the Grand Prix brand as a brand of cars in Pontiac's personal luxury and mid-size car market, making it next to the Bonneville in Pontiac's product lineup. The first Grand Prix became a merging of the Pontiac Catalina, with its coupe and hardtop model and the Pontiac Bonneville's trimming. As in other Pontiac vehicles, the Grand Prix received a downsizing treatment in 1978. By 2008, the Grand Prix was still being manufactured when General Motors announced a recall of all Grand Prix GTP models from 1997 to 2003 because of reported engine fires. The next year, the recall extended to Grand Prix GT models as well. As of April 2009, almost 1.5 million Grand Prix cars have been affected by this recall.

The Grand Prix's GT trim was discontinued in 2008. GXP and base trims were still available, as well as new colors were added to the available models for 2008. For the 2009 model year, the Grand Prix was discontinued altogether and was replaced by the Pontiac G8.
