I'd have needed a mortgage to buy one anyway but I'm still kind of sad that I can't. What concept car do you wish you could buy now? I was going to build this whole prompt around the Z4 Coupe (actual name: BMW Concept Touring CoupĂ©) and ask what people would pay for the singular *neue clownshue* that did get built for [the promotional photoshoot](). But Chris Tsui pointed out we've never actually discussed our favorite concept cars in general. The longroof Z4 is a concept I earnestly do like, even one of the few cars I'd liquidate the rest of my fleet for if it'd become a regular production car and sold alongside the convertible. But there have been a handful of other concepts I still think about too. Who else remembers the Ford 021C? [This incredible design]() came out in 1999 (*1999!*) and honestly, I bet you could drop it on TikTok today and people would go nuts for it all over again. Alright, time to kick it to the comments before I go off endlessly calling out every awesome concept car I can think of. What bygone concept from the near or distant past do you really wish you could buy today? ## Author As Executive Editor, Andrew touches everything on the site from daily news coverage to feature stories, sponsored content, product reviews, road testing vehicles, ecommerce, and more.
