2005 Mercedes-Benz Bionic Car

Mercedes’ Bionic car was introduced at the Daimler Chrysler Innovation Symposium in Washington, D.C. When it was introduced, this car had just one job in mind – to lower emissions. Despite the fact that it was powered by a 1.9L turbodiesel engine, it features up to 80% less nitrogen oxide emissions thanks to its Selective Catalytic Reduction technology. This was very advanced at the time, but the car itself does not showcase great design. The car was modeled after a fish, after all. A Yellow Boxfish, in fact, that lives in coral reefs.

1999 Chrysler PT Cruiser

We know how the PT Cruiser has a loyal fanbase to this day seeing as it’s a versatile car. All the same, if you’d look up the Chrysler Pronto concept that came before this one, you probably wonder why they changed it so much. The Pronto had a sleeker frame, giving it a modern look. Its coupe body catered to a younger generation as well. While we got a small taste of that with the PT Cruiser GT Convertible, it still lacked in its design compared to the Pronto.
