7. Toyota A-BAT
Us Brits are gradually succumbing to the charms of a pick-up and this funky new Toyota concept should help win even more admirers.
The A-BAT is a cool-looking pick-up concept, with a new version of the hybrid powertrain from the Prius, aimed at urbanites who want a fun, sporty and versatile pick-up. We love it. So go on Toyota, build it - we dare you.
And don't don't make the same mistake as the FJ Cruiser and keep it for the Yanks.
8. Buick Riviera
Buick is a brand for old men and golfers (Tiger Woods is a spokesman for the brand), so this Riviera concept is quite an eye-opener.
Gull-wing doors, porthole air intakes, a waterfall grille - this Chinese-developed, hybrid-powered concept could not only revive a famous name, but also interest in a brand that is a byword for boring cars.
