They say beauty is only skin deep. Tell that to GINA.
Instead of a metal or plastic body, BMW's latest concept, the GINA Light Visionary Model, drapes a flexible fabric material over a moveable wire mesh frame, creating a nearly seamless surface that can alter its form at the whim of the driver.

Watch the video. Amazing and bizarre! They say it’s safe. But for me, more weight and metal between me and everyone else doesn’t sound like a bad thing.
But, I’m sure it is lighter and gets better gas mileage...and looks cool too. Time will tell.

CAD has really been taken over by the geek personality, it looks like. You know, the kind of people that come up with names like “daemon” for a freaking server.

With a name like that, I see a future for it in target marketing to Hillary’s disaffected followers. I think they could get into a GINA.

Nice hooters fenders, baby!

That is pretty darn cool.

"BMW Builds a Cloth Car"
The East Germans beat BMW to it - the Trabant's body was made out of a cotton-based plastic that resisted rain, snow, and sun...but apparently not goats, who allegedly liked to munch on the Trabi's body paneling. :-)

Biggest hazard for the BMW...

When I lived in Poland, my friend told me that I could buy a Trabi for 2 bottles of vodka...I shoulda tried it...
