Can your car swim? This amphibious vehicle, the Rinspeed sQuba (dubbed "Scubacar" over on Defamer), was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, and while the thought of riding in it makes me queasy — on the water, I have no seasickness problems, but underwater seatbelted into a submerged convertible? No thanks! — I like to look at it, and would love to see it action. Taking inspiration from the sportscar-turned-submarine in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me (the infamous Lotus Esprit), I think we PopWatchers should craft a film or TV plot worthy of "Scubacar." Should she join the newest gadgets in the Daniel Craig-era 007 arsenal? Save lives on a revamped Baywatch? Become a love interest for Knight Rider’s KITT? Dive in and tell us what kind of adventure you envision for the car that swims.

It’s a submersible convertible? Really? That makes no sense. Who’s going to drive their convertible into and under the water (in their evening clothes, if we’re to believe the photo)?
Not a plot, but–the “Top Gear” boys have now made two separate attempts to make an amphibious car. They’re not very successful getting one to stay on *top* of the water, but they win at sinking them below the water at record speeds. Anyway, I consider those two episodes to be vital research to any amphibious car plot. (If you are not watching “Top Gear,” you must start immediately. As the BBC America slogan goes, “You don’t have to be a fan of cars, you just have to be a fan of fun.”)
After John Locke destroyed the submarine, Others leader Ben Linus was left to rely on another secret to get to and from the Island: his scubacar!…LOST
Nice BttF reference
Isn’t the point of an expensive sports car that you get to pick up attractive coeds with questionable morals? How is one going to get their proverbial groove on in that car with no back seat and no air bubble? This ain’t no sex machine, it’s a death trap!
Clearly the perfect accessory for this car would be some sort of rock formation underground lair. The lair would have a docking bay for the car, one of those stereos with speakers shaped like rocks (with appropriate Barry White music), a big aquarium (for the sake of ego), an even bigger tv, and a rotating bed with velour sheets.
This is the perfect car and getaway vacation spot for the Dr. Evil in us all.
I agree with BrandonK – a convertible that goes underwater? That doesn’t make any sense at all.
Why is this necessary/needed/wanted?
31 years since the Spy Who Loved Me and it’s a covertible! Back to the drawing board.

This has nothing on chitty-chitty bang bang…
