Some imaginative designers have come up with some stunning proposals - what do you think? http://www.greenermachine.com/index.php?pO...&pPostId=89

I don't like any of the ones with the stubby, flat noses. I liked the Prius' sloped nose. So nix the first four. The Maroon #5 isn't bad. Turquoise #8 isn't bad either.

Some of those designs, especially the first several, take me back to my cub scout days and pinewood derby cars.
I'm fine with just about any of them - as long as we get real wheels. While we're redesigning, let's make some nice-looking aerodynamic alloys that don't need the PlaySchool plastic insert, 'K?
Last one I like, couple in the middle look like an evolution of the current shape. Why do they always have to display rederings with 35% profile tyres?
Just don't understand the sensitivity to the shape of the car. I would drive a car shaped like a turnip if it got 200 mpg.
I like #1 (silver/blue), #5 (reddish brown/white.. although it looks like a PT Cruiser), #6 (silver/white/black), #9 (blue/white) and #10 (white/grey). If I had to pick one, #10 gets my vote. It has a stretched wheelbase but yet a beautiful design. Designing a car with a stretched wheelbase is hard (just take a look at the new Civic or the Chrysler Concorde/LHS/Dodge Intrepid). It looks sporty (perhaps a bit of FT-HS in there) and I love the wheel design (not too fancy on the blue colouring though).
