Aggressive Styling
Not important part (background): So I took this class this semester called Conceptual Ideation. Basically it's all about how to come up with good original ideas for art (which I could use the help in). For our first project, the teacher asked us to do a "redux" of something we failed at in the past. I chose to revisit the Aveo redesign I submitted for a C&G sketch competition a few years ago, which was undeniably very, very bad. My aim is to design a subcompact car that is typically practical and economical, but looks like it can beat every other subcompact to a pulp. The teacher was encouraging me to make something as wild and futuristic as I could imagine, but it seems to me anything really radical would just come off too cutesy on a small car (e.g. Chevy Spark). So I am trying to take it in a more classical direction. Important part: So what I would like to know is, what typical automotive styling features convey to you a sense of power, aggressiveness, and sportiness?

How do you start your day?
I have cup and a third of tea after I eat my cereal. I don't know if it helps wake me up, but at the the very least it's good for me.

I've never had any luck at all with Java IRC clients, so I don't know if one would work to access Freenode. But I could provide instructions for getting on using a traditional client.

I think I might make an IRC channel on FreeNode. Anyone up for this?

The cabriolet doesn't look too bad. I'd rather have the Packard, though.

"Frak" "Greetings, programs!" (I don't use this as often as I'd like) My friend and I always take the chance to quote Red vs. Blue when it's appropriate.

GM Enters New Turf With Premium Compact Buick
+1 In fact I'd love to have an entire modernized Eagle line. Light, compact, 4WD, availible as a sedan, coupe, convertible, hatchback, wagon, heck even a light pickup, with a whole range of engines from a fuel-sipping turbo I4 to a ground pounding V8. What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, premium compact Buick. That would be a good thing.

Edmunds: Americans more likely to choose Chinese than Korean?
So many Chinese-made products don't have an American-made equivalent. People who grew up with such products have nothing to compare them to, quality-wise. If people bought Yugos, I don't see why a Chinese car won't sell.

HARDTOPS you might not remember
You're no fun, 68. The rear window doesn't roll down, but it has no b-pillar so as far as I'm concerned it's a hardtop.
