CES displays are often more aspirational (108-inch plasma TVs) than practical. Here, for example, is one of the setups from the Anaba Group booth--interesting, but we're not sure how you'd watch the LCD in the back of the car.

Even less practical: here's a TV screen on the back bumper, also from the Anaba booth. Unless you've always wanted to back Bill O'Reilly into a tree, we don't see the point.

Maxxsonics had a Hummer with 30-inch rims. That's neither sport nor utility, but it does look pretty.

Also at the Maxxsonics booth, there was a Hummer H2 from the RealWheels Criss Angel Mindfreak Project. We want the webby steering wheel.

At Arc Audio, this Monkees convertible was on display. We like retro, but surely they might have used a manufactured pop group of more recent vintage. Who wouldn't want to ride in the Gorillaz-mobile?

The only thing better than a convertible: a convertible with seats that stretch out into a bed. It looked mighty cozy after a day of walking the show floor.
