Optimism is back in style in the automotive world. The concept cars on display during the 2010 LA Auto Show prove that automakers are again willing to take risks and push boundaries. After a couple dismal years of sales due to a global recession, manufacturers are exhibiting a renewed sense of creativity.

Some of the concept cars seen in Los Angeles rely on heritage to spark a new ideas for the 21st century. The aggressive-looking Audi Quattro Concept is a modern interpretation of the German company's famous all-wheel-drive sport coupes from the 1980s.

Other automakers chose to break all the rules and display cars that look ready to take flight or travel through time. The Jaguar C-X75 and Mercedes-Benz Biome concepts are not only wildly futuristic, they're absolutely gorgeous, and a sign of even more good things to come.

1. The Caddy needs to go back to the drawing board, it looks like a backwards fastback

[obxhead]

2. It looks to me like a modified version of this POS

[Stevenmarc]

4. It looks like a Bedlington Terrier

[obxhead]

5. LOL

:rofl: It really does!

[alfredo]

3. I like that the Caddy is getting smaller and more

focused on cutting edge design. I was never a big fan of the Caddy until the they started going Euro in their design.

7. I appreciate that too

but the lines of this concept are just wrong

[alfredo]

9. Reminds me of the Gremlin.

'd have to see the car in motion before I make a firm opinion.

6. I'd like a Mazda Shinary for Christmas, please.

8. I think they are all hideous.

Not that any of the auto makers care, because I'm never going to be in the market for a new car... nor a used one if I'm lucky.

A 25 year old car ought to be good for at least another 25 years, right?

11. I think Lotus went overboard with the Exige

It seems too busy.



the Elise was sexy

[Stevenmarc]

12. LOL yeah it's no McLaren MP4-12C

[NuclearDem]

10. I'm...intrigued with the Biome

It really seems like something out of sci-fi...GROWING cars?
