I'm not good with the car designers of the world. They've been growling at me ever since I suggested a Ferrari SUV. However, with the Drac speeders now in freestuff...

Actually I'm pondering an idea like that myself MoonGoat. LOL! Some kind of van/SUV like thing that takes the roofline from the side profile of an exotic (like a Lambo) and then extends it downward from where the top of the front end meets the bumper. The quick illustration shows the idea, hopefully it can work better with an actual model where more details can be worked out.

I've entered into the contest, I have a car I've been working on for over 5 months that I'm submitting. I'm sure I have no chance, but what the hey? And I'd have no problem with a Ferrari SUV, that could be very cool...

I have problems with SUV's in general.

Heheh... I know what you mean about SUVs Slakker. They waste gas, block ones view, etc. They have a purpose (if you're hauling a lot of people & towing at the same time), but most people don't use them that way (it's their money, let 'em be dumb like that.) But for a design exercise I wouldn't mind modeling an SUV. As for taste in cars personally - I like small and manueverable stuff - but not too small (so it's survivable if somethng goes wrong.) If I ever get a job beyond something temporary - I'll be keeping an eye out for the Solstice.

Interesting comments there Paul, I have a half completed model where I've applied the same concept to an s type Jaguar, one day I'll get round to finishing it!
