A three-quarter photo of the car, but it's beige now
A top-down photo of the car, showing it only has three seats with the steering wheel in front of the middle seat
A photo of the back of the car, where is has Karin written between the taillights
A photo of the interior, where the all the console buttons are clustered on the frame around the steering wheel and the steering wheel is shaped like a pie with and missing piece on the bottom
The another photo of the interior but from a front facing angle where you can see the instrument cluster looks like a crt television screen
A concept car from 1980, design by Trevor Fiore

It looked pretty cool until it showed what you see sitting in the driver's seat. The fuck kinda windshield is that? lol

Are you talking about the last photo? I'm pretty sure that's taken from outside the car, through the rear window (or at least where it would be). You can see the backs of the three seats at the bottom. The thing that is obstructing the centre of the view is just close to the camera. If you look at the rear view photo which shows the tail lights, you can see a much better view through the front windscreen

That view was from the back seat, not the driver's seat. I think it's a rear view camera but cameras were huge back then.
