Double Vision

All of the Internet car news sites I frequent are covering this weird black concept car called the Mercedes Vision Iconic.

Here is the Auto Express version of the story.

The Concept is described by the chief design officer as combining "the firm’s Art Deco-inspired models of the 1930s" incorporating "elements of the 1954 Mercedes 300 SL". The result, he says, “embodies the pure essence of Mercedes” and is the “ultimate expression of value, prestige, and grace”.

Ew.

And what's with the interior?

What on earth is that cylinder thing where the glovebox ought to be?

Is it for storing Pringles?

Meanwhile, Mazda supposedly have a "wild new concept" which will "preview the brand’s next-gen design language, and possibly a new range-topping model."

It's name?

The Mazda Vision.

That Auto Express story is here.

Look familiar?

Wonder if it will have a Pringles holder?
