BMW have released a concept car, thought to be the new Moke. Unlike other concept cars, this one actually looks like it could be produced in some fashion without costing 100's of thousands, however to be classed as 'the new Moke' is an enormous call.
Lets start with the similarities:
Does it make any logical sense to manufacture it?: No - TICK
Number of Doors: 0 - TICK
Is it fun to drive?: Probably - TICK
Now the differences:
Is it safe: Yes - FAIL
Mechanical - A/C? Heating? Radio? Gauges? Working Seatbelts? - Yes - FAIL
Physical - Chassis? Roof? Sides? Back?: Yes - EPIC FAIL
Does it work offroad? - No - FAIL. The old Moke would literally go everywhere, this one will only go from Daddy's lock up garage to a bitumen carpark near some grass.
And lets be honest, the thing looks absolutely f$%king stupid - FAIL
Check out the link for a few more pics so you can see what I mean.
The questions I have are, Why does the spare tyre have a vent? Why was the car so obviously superimposed on the hard limestone track, 2m off the road? Why are you making 'Mini' cars so big? Why did you hire Starship Troopers and decide "Hey those cars could be cool!"?
My official statement to BMW - "Now that people blame everyone/everything else for their stupidity in life, the Moke dream is over. Buy an old one, jam a stick on the accelerator and surf the freeway 'Teenwolf' style. You will realise the world doesn't need another one!"
P.S. Love the comment someone wrote on the ad!
