This is a bit of a departure from the sleek styles I've been working on. After spending some time staring at the pic that KMPrenger posted in another thread of the original 5th gen concept car, I decided to stop worrying about a retro-inspired design. That concept car is so close to perfect in the way it looks and stands that I honestly don't think that can be improved upon.
So this is a "muscle" car design and it has some Camaro-ish elements to it, but I didn't try and make it look like any particular previous generation. I took the basic elements that it seems most people want to see; beefy fenders, "hips" in the rear fenders, short back and long front, etc. and started with that. It's got a hefty stance to it and (to me anyways) it has a "GM" look to it. I'm still working on it and obviously there's room on the front fascia for fog lights and brake cooling ducts. The low front profile is achieved by having the radiator leaned forward.
This style works well with dark colors and metallics; it's okay with certain light colors but seems to like bold colors the best.
