newVideoPlayer("LincolnDoor_gawker.flv", 506, 423,""); The old disappearing doors Lincoln concept car, a sensation that swept the nation (or at least the internet) back in July, 2007 (a sensation we started right here at Jalopnik ) is now up for sale again on eBay. So for any of you kiddies looking for a Black Friday steal and deal, snap up the 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII Prototype Concept Car with doors that disappear under the car. Be wary however, as this concept car seems to head back to eBay every six months or so. Probably because nobody can figure out how to get that pesky driver's side door to work right. Get it now while you still can because the auction on this one-of-a-kind rarity of a minor internet meme ends at 10:00 PM EST Sunday night. Look at it this way, it's like owning Rick Astley at the start of his second career as a rick-roller . [via eBay ]

newVideoPlayer("/ConceptGT.flv", 506, 423,""); We had a chance this morning to be one of the first to drive the GTbyCITROEN Concept on Gran Turismo 5: Prologue at the Paris Auto Show . The car, easily the hottest concept here at the show, was designed as a joint venture between Citroen and Polyphony Digital, the makers of Gran Turismo. We'll gladly admit we are not virtuosos of GT5, as we should be, but once we figured out what everything did, it was off to the races. By our uncalibrated estimates, the GTbyCITROEN has a tendency to oversteer more than we expected, but it is fast, and it'll handle high speeds pretty well. Oh, and after we took a look inside the concept, we were interested to see that dash provides a sweet heads-up unit displaying current velocity. We totally need to get a PS3. galleryPost('gtbycitroenlive', 6, 'GTbyCITROEN Exterior'); galleryPost('GTbyCitroenInterior', 6, 'GTbyCITROEN Interior');

newVideoPlayer("BMWM1Homage_gawker.flv", 494, 410,""); When we showed you the first shots of the BMW M1 Homage , there were many a cry that Photoshop visual trickery was being used to deceive our eyes. Well, it seems the Bavarians have heard your skepticism, and in an effort to prove they're both not made of wood and that they're nose isn't growing longer by the minute, have responded with this video footage. We're not saying 3D renderings can't also be used for these sort of moving pictures, but you'd have to be just plain stubborn to deny the physical existence of the M1 Homage concept after watching this footage. Besides, we just want to believe. We know there's mixed opinions on the styling, but we're too busy imagining what a modern mid-engined BMW racer would drive like to worry about what it may or may not look like.

newVideoPlayer("Furai_Running.flv", 475, 376,""); You thought you had seen the last of the 2008 Mazda Furai concept didn't you? We certainly had enough coverage on the lusty concept that didn't make Popular Mechanics' Top 10 New Cars of Detroit list. What with the teaser photos , track video , live reveal shots , and super sneaky close ups - but no, we're not done yet. How about video of the ethanol powered Nagare-gasm running on the floor of the Detroit Auto Show? Would you like that? Yeah, we thought you would.

newVideoPlayer("furai_video.flv", 475, 376,""); The three rotor banshee planted in the 2009 Mazda Furai Concept is at full scream in this track time video at Leguna Seca. We're eagerly awaiting the unveil at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday, but it's a slim chance we'll see it blasting around like this on the frozen roads of Detroit. If you listen closely when the driver steps off the throttle, you can hear yourself wet your pants. galleryPost('mazdafuraidetroit', 6, '2009 Mazda Furai Preview Pictures');

newVideoPlayer("HyundaiGenesisCoupeLA_gawker.flv", 475, 376); You may have missed being at the LA Auto Show in person for the reveal of the Hyundai Genesis coupe concept but now we've got some video of the reveal. The video shows off both the Korean automaker's new 300-HP RWD sports car as well as a made-for-press intro video starring a woman who may be the world's hottest spy photographer ever . You may be wondering why we'd be showing this video today -- like two weeks after the LA show ended. Sheer laziness perhaps? Or maybe we just wanted to keep her the Hyundai hotness all to ourselves. galleryPost('2009hyundaigenesisLA', 9, 'Hyundai Genesis Coupe Concept');

newVideoPlayer("VinesVideo_gawker.flv", 475, 376); We give Chrysler PR main man Jason Vines a lot of credit -- probably way too much -- but it's because once in a while he's able to deliver from his ADD-adled mind some truly amazing attempts to break through the clutter and cacophony of noise that is automotive public relations. Whether it's fueling the fire of the " Muscle Car Wars " (coming soon to a Woodward Avenue near you!) or coming to work dressed as his favorite sexual fantasy , Vines certainly doesn't act like other auto PR bosses. The newest example is the e-mail we just received with a video revealing some sketches of the automakers Detroit Auto Show concepts for the Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep brands. The video stars Vines, Chrysler's chief product man Frank Klegon, chief design man Trevor Creed and Sandy Fraser, the real boss running the show over at Chrysler PR. The video is a mix of schlock and the usual Vines shtick, and was executed...

newVideoPlayer("MercedesF700_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Unfortunately the one of us that's writing up this post doesn't know a lick of German other than "Ein juden!" -- a phrase that while true, in no way shows up in this video. Thus, all I can tell you...
