I’d drive this now
I would be thrilled to drive this, but my partner would get sick of me referring to every trip to the grocery store as an “away mission.”
Dress your partner in a red shirt
Never! She’s definitely a gold shirt.

Actual source is Italdesign, the Italian company that designed this concept car for VW. It was built on the Golf Syncro, which was the first Golf with four wheel drive. Here is a good video explaining Italdesign’s automotive history leading up to the Orbit.
Thanks, added to the post!
Slightly bigger wheels and this would be spot on.
That thing is hideous. I want it.
Yeah, I had one of those back in the day.
Look at all that visibility! Sweet! Based on modern car design, I assume this has a terrible crash test rating and no side airbags.
looks like the sweet love child of an amc pacer and a delorean.
I miss when car companies made cool-looking concepts like this that would never roll out of a factory for real.
The absolutely ridiculous Pontiac Stinger belongs here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUq8JtlrJbM
I’ll take one please.
Was this car the inspiration for the simpsons episode where home designed a car? (And ruined his brother’s company)
I personally find Bubble Top cars more similar to The Homer.
Now I want an LCARS dashboard
Instead we just ended up with the Silhouette minivan
What do all the gauges on the right side even do?
You can fit so much beige in this baby.
I think CDPR upscaled this design for Cyberpunk 2077
Weirdly TNG.
Looks like K.I.T.T.'s gauge panels…
