Mobile Living?

Gmc-Padconcept 01

If GMC's vision is correct, mobile homes may move away from large bus formats to a more functional unit that rely on versatility, customization, convenience and luxury. But get this, the GMC PAD concept it targeted towards urban youth in Los Angeles as opposed to the typical 40+ something year old we normally associate with mobile homes.

Although the housing market in L.A. fluctuates (no time like the present to buy a home), the median price range of a decent home is still out of reach for most young people. GMC's solution is to take what young people like best about their homes and have placed it all in a luxurious "mobile urban loft".

The GMC PAD is easily the most fashionable way to live in your car. The vehicle can operate in diesel-electric hybrid mode when on the go but also can generate power for its house features while parked.

what a gas!
as much as i'd want to park that studio apartment somewhere's in new york, seems like that sucka would pack quite some sticka shock.
and now i might have to learn to drive.

Looks more like a moon rover. Though the idea is fairly keen, Where are these urban youths getting all their money to afford one of these?

thes n:1 car i love gmc
