I’ve seen model homes with grass instead of driveways, so I suppose that could be what’s up.

Dawn, you’re so right.

It’s the wonderful commentary that keeps us tuning in again and again – go Sara!

Maybe, they actually have the house of the future and a car like the Jetsons.

You know the pictures are funny, but your commentary makes it even funnier.

Um, actually..... PA1 is the post code for central Paisley in Scotland.

I temped for a company who built this type of development (ironically taken over by Barratt) and the house brochures weren't just shopped, they were entirely computer generated.

Many people buy "off plan" i.e. before the thing is actually built and are simply going from artists' impressions, architect's drawings and computer generated images.

These little cul-de-sac developments are increasingly popular too.

A ‘green’ driveway for a ‘green’ car.

I would rather assume that we are finally seeing the dawn of the Age of Flying Cars, long promised but only now deliver’d!

Looks like it’s just a model home for a new home development. The shadows all look real, so they probably just haven’t poured in the driveway. You see that alot in model homes, and often the sales agents have an office in the garage.

Or this it the model home. Quite often the developer’s sales people work in an office in the garage. And they make the landscape all pretty out front without regard for the garage. Then later when they sell it, the garage is turned back into a garage and the driveway concrete is poured. At least that’s how it works in South Florida.

Uh, yeah. Thats a 3D rendering of what these houses are going to look like. Builders usually do these before the land is plowed. Its kind of a proposal thing. Trust me, I applied for a job doing that for Toll Brothers.

Actually, using an “artist’s impression” is pretty commonplace in the UK when selling off-plan (i.e. before the property is built) – although they would normally label it as such.
