One of the many elements that made "Battlestar Galactica" so unique was its blend of retro and futuristic technology; the characters had the ability to fly between the stars yet still relied on corded telephones.

"Caprica" is no different, only on this series it is the cars that give the show its futuristic vintage feel.

In amongst the current models, such as Smartcars, viewers will be able to spot several classic models, particularly from European brands. But, if seeing a Smartcar parked next to a Citroën DS is a little odd to you, "Caprica's" production designer Richard Hudolin insists it only helps add some character to the show, while also further rooting the origins of each of the shows key players.

Theyre a good counterpoint to the glass and chrome of the sets, he said. I wanted to balance that out, soften the look. So we started looking at older cars.
