A tour of Pontiac's futuristic Stinger concept car reveals its removable seat cushion, portable appliances, hidden storage, picnic gear, and fold-down sleeping space.
0:05 Colorful is the best way to describe this amazing future car from Pontiac, packed with modern concepts, wild and wacky pretensions, and maybe more personality than any other car. 0:15 The Pontiac Stinger, a 2 million dollar design exercise that's worth 10 times that in sheer traffic stopping ability. 0:25 There's a remote keyless entry system, and the fold down armrest reveals the controls for the electronic memory steering wheel and driver's seat. 0:38 Once you get in the car, there are electronic and manual adjustments for the instrument cluster and the tilt steering wheel. 0:46 If you've taken your Pontiac Stinger to the beach, but you've forgotten your beach chair, fear not, this car has the answer. 0:53 Just remove one of the upholstered inserts from either one of the front seats, and you're home free. 0:58 If you love music, there's plenty on board the Stinger, including an AM/FM radio and a funky looking CD player in the center console. 1:05 Under this cushion, there's a pullout AM/FM cassette player that you can take anywhere. 1:10 And if you like a lot of nooks and crannies, how about a couple of pullout storage bins under each front seat? 1:16 And the outside door panel of the Stinger is actually a removable storage pod and ice chest. 1:24 There's a portable vanity case for binoculars and a compass, a hidden toolkit including a trouble light and an air compressor, a flashlight, 2 portable vacuum cleaners that are easily stowed on board, 1:38 even a garden hose, bicycle bags, a removable picnic kit, a portable gas stove, and a collapsible picnic. 1:45 If you have to spend the night in your Stinger, the seats fold down to accommodate standard size sleeping bags. 1:51 The Stinger, almost as much a condo as a car. Truly one of the world's most versatile future cars.
