Designed by WomenClick here for the full size picture. Volvo is showing off a new concept car -- dubbed, Your Concept Car, or YCC. It's a different car -- designed from the ground up by a team comprised of all women, and using the input from women. The results -- a strikingly different car, that guys may actually find cool. It's got gadgets galore, and some nifty features that makes you wonder why they were never put into cars already. Some features: a key fob that opens the gull-wing doors, and personalize the car for the driver; when the door opens, the car provides expanded clearance to allow ease of entry, by retracting the door sill, lifting up the car by 3 inches, pushing in the steering wheel and sliding back the seat; no gas cap means no need to get your hands dirty when refueling; no stick paint, and seat covers that can be removed to wash, keeps the car clean; when braking hard, LEDs in the brake light, increase intensity to warn drivers behind you; and the headrests leave an open area for ponytails and improves whiplash protection.
