Neil, I can add the following to the criteria of vehicles that should not have gone beyond the concept stage:

Any vehicle that relies on acronyms to
  • stay upright,
  • stay in a straight line,
  • allows it to negotiate a corner,
  • allows emergency stops without proper cadence braking by the driver,
  • compensates for the fact that it has no proper articulation when driving off-road,
  • make up for the driver's lack of throttle control when taking off from a stand-still
  • and
  • and
  • and
In other words make up for the fact that most modern-day drivers are NINNIES :mrgreen:

Quadra Drive is a purely mechanical system that actually requires some driver skill to utilize properly and is still a step below full lockers (in conjunction with decent articulation it is at least 10 steps above any acronym, though :P )

It’s a driver aid. Thys uses driver aids.

Thys also has lockers all round. That’s a driver aid.

A phucking steering wheel is also a driving aid, Neil. We could still be using tillers to steer our vehicles, like the first cars

You and I both know that the acronyms I refer to are the electronic driving aids that manufacturers add to vehicles to be PC and protect the average Ninnies that call themselves drivers these days

I wonder if the Chinese concepts that looked very similar to some European models ever made it to production.
