So I saw this vid this morning and I was like "lol dafuq they think I'm stupid?" but the more I look into it, the more it sounds like they're gonna have an actual concept vehicle at the car show.

Anyone else got any solid news on this?

The videos look undoubtedly CGI to me, some sort of stunt...

I don't appreciate being fooled into clicking a picture thinking it is a video!

Oops haha sorry, fixed! :D
