My new car must be fast and heavy, powerful and dense. It must protect without corpulence, as I fear social boycott and protest. I need all-wheel-drive.

I will accept any color other than red, since red vehicles get more tickets. I don't want extraneous badges or icons, other than a large hood ornament (perhaps a Scotsman), and an emblem signifying that the car is a hybrid (although the nature of the hybrid must remain hidden).

Inside should be smooth and earth-toned, with attention to detail. I would like to determine my own placement for all knobs, and suggest a high-tech peg/dashboard that would allow for such manipulation. The controls will remotely communicate with a central processor to actuate things like the front, back and side glass wipers, and the sign in the rear window that displays appropriate messages to tailgaters.

The rear couch should be removable so that I can transport a variety of things that fit my active lifestyle. I live in a very cold climate and would like heaters for the wipers, exterior mirrors, shift knob, steering wheel, seat belt buckles, dashboard knobs, floor mats and foot pedals.

The car needs an intriguing name with an "x" in it, such as "lexicon," "praxism" or "traxis."
