   Well, of course.  But most products start off as projects, and those   
   with market potential get final development. Look at concept cars.  None   
   ever make it to market as displayed, but some get refined (such as the   
   Dodge Daytona, the Dodge Viper and the Plymoth Prowler), but more often,   
   it is features of concept cars that get refined into production models.
