If the Volvo V50, above, was a bar of soap and you used it for six weeks, you might get something that looks like this:
That there is the Quaranta concept car from Italdesign Giugiaro, slated to be debuted at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, and it was apparently designed to give A-pillars and C-pillars existential crises. ("I don't know where I end and you begin!")
Interestingly enough, this supercar has a hybrid Toyota powertrain that gets 38.8 miles to the gallon. It'll also do 0-60 in 4.05 seconds, so if you're late for your Greenpeace meeting, this is your ride.

that's a new concept car? the design already looks dated, especially if you compared it to anything new. i haven't seen squared wheel wells since the Lamborghini Countach
as a proud V50 owner I wouldn't call it a "soap bar"...
as an Italian car lover I am afraid the Quaranta isn't the best example of Giugiaro's work.
It's a pretty poor effort by Giugiaro I think. It reminds me of the Aston Martin Lagonda, than of a car that points to the future.
