“Plans to replace the minivan are already underway,” says Peter Horbury, executive director, Design, The Americas for Ford Motor Company, “this is just another type of crossover.” The Ford Airstream Concept is more than just another crossover, and as more people make their way to the floor of the Detroit Auto Show this week, more people will be talking about it. Horbury says that the red interior, and the 360-degree “lava lamp” entertainment screen evoke “camping trips where you’d sit around the fire.” The retrofuturistic exterior is nostalgic to those who remember Airstreams from their childhood roadtrips. Read: Baby Boomers. Designed to “celebrate the iconic brands that put America on the road,” the retrofuturistic Ford Airstream Concept is as high concept as it gets. Horbury is pleased with the response so far: “This show has been tremendous for us. All eyes are on Ford, and we’ve given them something to see.”

Imagine the simplicity of it, but still so beautiful. I hope it will get into production, if not I'll just go for the new Ford Interceptor (also detroit) :P
I guess then my question is why are these cars not released yet and why are there so many concept cars that were created and showcased in the past that still are not released to the public?
The future is now and the I believe the public is ready to start driving safer and more fuel economic cars. Global warming is here now and is starting to rapidly affect the world and even claims lives.
This is due to the amount of carbon in the air which is created by high emission vehicles. If the car manufactures were to release these cars that produce less emissions now global warming can be controlled.
The car manufacturers have the power to make a change in the way we all live our lives, why are they not doing more when they can.
Just curious,
