While this is not something new, but think it worth to mention though. How about if your car can wink, can laugh, angry and cry and show the expression to the other cars on the road?
Four Toyota employees has patent righted to a car designed that can show expression such as anger by crouching low on its wheel base and flash red headlights.
This personfication is supposed to help drivers express themselves and add “entertainmentâ€? to the road. Just how practical is this going to be… Doubted it especially on those inconsiderate drivers on the road.

Proton is facing unclear outlook… A report by ECM Libra after visit to Proton said that :
The sales of the Savvy was also struggling for critical mass and the stockbroking company feels that Proton’s earnings for its 2006 financial year would be one of consolidation.
“With bread-and-butter models holding up profitability( Wira, Perdana and Iswara will eventually phase out) and new models (savvy) facing roll-out problems, we do not think that financial year 2007 will be a year of growth, especially if Proton is banking on the Satria (replacement model) and its MPV to be new drivers while the GEN.2 and Savvy are struggling for critical mass,”
Proton’s lack of export presence, its struggle in the domestic market, weak model pipeline and poor-to-market execution would be a problem for any new investor to sort out.
