Why do they feature CONCEPT CARS at auto shows they never intend to build? Teasing us with the possible for what purpose?

The concept cars are always sexy exotic state-of-the-art and drop dead BEAUTIFUL. What do they do with the one and only concept car? Does the auto company owner get it? The designer? Is it raffled off at the company picnic? Is it junked?

    While they may not ever release a concept car ... it shows what technology is possible.
    And it's likely that some of that technology will be in some of their vehicles.

    Sort of like NASCAR.
    Those "stock cars" aren't really "stock - as in being sold to the public.

    ... and where else would we get to see the "Homer mobile"?

    Of course I've always assumed it runs. But how do we know? Maybe they just design a dream that's never going to go a mile. Concepts are what I always am drawn to view. By comparison all the others car are so ordinary and nothing special. The concept car is roped off ALWAYS on a rotating stage away from human hands and it is there in all its beguiling glory saying "you can look but you can't touch"! Thank you for your reply Walt and Happy Thursday. As for the cartoon car it looks like an Edsel dressed up for Halloween! :) This post was edited by RosieG at November 21, 2019 1:28 AM MST
