personally I do not like the design of it but this is the future for sure.. Thing that made my day is qwertys idea about putting on older chassis / shapes it would be excellent to drive on hydrogen but still sit in my good old Volvo instead of some future monster like that one

I like it, sort of. It kind of makes me sad, because if this is truely the car of the future it means the end to the classic V8 RWD full-size sedan (like the Ford LTD, Plymouth Gran Fury, Chrysler 300C, Ford Crown Victoria etc.). I like the thing how you can change the body. And I think the controls are awsome (yet another step away from man's connection with his car), its like a video game. Even the looks aren't bad, broing maybe, but it isn't ugly (like most new concepts). I can see it being hard for older people, and I think that the "video game" generation will be best at driving it.

Lol, that's interesting. It's somewhat attractive and the versatile body is cool. I'd love to get one of those and bolt on a body of an older car. That would be so awesome. I'm not a fan of the controls though. It is neat how you can move it to another person, but it'll just feel weird like he says. I also think the driving/braking control would be difficult for elderly people. Why not design the control like those motorized scooters so you twist it forward to go, release it to brake, and twist it backwards to go backwards? That'd be something they should improve on. If it isn't intuitive, it's not likely to survive in the mainstream market.
