Separated At Birth?

On the left, The 2006 Mercedes-Benz SCL-600 (or the 1996 F-200 Imagination) concept car, complete with joystick steering column. On the right, Ed Roth's Beatnik Bandit, with joystick steering - forty years earlier.

For more info on the SCL-600/F-200, click here.

Thanks to Ken Mitchroney for all the info!

Take that Mercedes ! The back up camer was taken from the Beatnick Bandit 2. It just takes forever for theses clown to catch up.

That steering wheel! Weird. Wonder if it'll catch on...seems too foreign to not be dangerous. I can't picture my grandparents catching on to that, haha.
