Wackiest Winner
Not enough passion in your Camry? Sony teamed up with Toyota to design the Pod, a car that can read your emotions and account for them. Its two headlights have eyelids and tears, and the u-shaped LEDs on the panel between them change color to represent "happy," "sleepy," "sad," and "angry." Inside, four tall chairs swivel to "welcome," "communication," and "drive" modes and a handheld Sony device determines your mood and adjusts the car's attitude accordingly, by selecting the interior lighting and music. It gets better: just below the backlight of this motorized mood ring, which looks like a big four-door BMW Isetta, is a tail that wags at you when you're ready to drive, or wags at other motorists when you pass. Makes the Begin Funkybox look downright subtle, doesn't it?
