:: Volvo YCC ::

Volvo decided that women needed to have a say in car design, so it let a bunch of female engineers, designers etc. design a car that is female friendly.

Dubbed the "YCC" for "Your Concept Car" , the car is easy to clean, has tons of storage, looks cool....but has no hood?!?

Not sure what I think of that. While Lisa Fitterman at the Gazette may think its because women don't actually want to drive, I guess I buck that trend. In my teen years, I restored classic cars.

In this case, the form is important and the function of the car is given over completely to the idea of transportation of goods and a few adults. This definitely won't be a car for those who like transparency in their technology.
