Blastolene B-702 and Hemi Trike
I like the headlights on the B-702. I've seen them on a few other cars before. Is there a name for that style?

Opel Ampera (Volt) headed for Geneva
I thought Ampera would be the perfect name for a Buick E-Flex car. Now they've wasted it. What happened to the Flextreme?

Killer Phantom project!
That's pretty kickin'. Though I think Nomad would be a better name for it.

Wiesmann GT, 2012 Though you might not be as enthusiastic about it by that time. Plus if you'd saved up enough to buy and import one by that time you might as well just import an Aussie ute.

Some pictures I think would be better without the motivational poster frame/captions.

Detroit 2009: Chrysler 200C Concept
§carlet §wordfish replied to Intrepidation's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)What I mean is, I see similar design cues, just not the same ones you do.

Detroit 2009: Chrysler 200C Concept
§carlet §wordfish replied to Intrepidation's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I still see more similarities from the A-pillar back than the front. As far as the lights, to me the shape of the headlight lens what matters. What's behind that doesn't make as much of a design impact in my eyes. Besides that, the two have entirely different themes. The Nassau seems very sharp and chiseled; The grille is higher set and the shapes more geometric, giving the front end a very bold and upright look like (maybe even moreso than) the 300. The 200, on the other hand, has a more laid-back, aero front end, with the lower set grille and the sloping hood that curves down into the bumper. The edges seem softer, perhaps due to the concave curves of the surfaces around them. It has a more flowing, organic look than the comparatively blunt Nassau. Actually, the more I look at pictures of both, the more I want to say it's mostly due to the Nassau's tall hood/grille. The 200's facia doesn't look like it's any more raked than the Nassau's, but the lower grille and the sloping hood make it look so much sleeker. So anyway, yes, I see the similarities between the two, but I still think the differences are significant enough to give me totally different impressions of each car.

An Update from Me
That's awesome. I agree that the Slate is much more attractive than the silver.

>>> Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris CAN Believe It's Not Butter. In the beginning there was nothing. Then Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked that nothing and told it to get a job. This was the creation of the universe. Chuck Norris was born by cesarian section: he roundhouse kicked his way out of his mother's womb. Chuck Norris was originally going to be an unlockable character in Street Fighter, but was removed from the final version because the only move the character could do was a roundhouse kick. When asked about the bug, Chuck Norris said "What bug?" Chuck Norris can beat a wall at tennis. When Chuck Norris goes swimming, he doesn't get wet, the water gets Chuck Norris'd. What's more deadly than Chuck Norris with a gun? Chuck Norris without a gun. Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month. Chuck Norris is the only person on the planet that can kick you in the back of the face.

What to choose instead of a G8 ST? The Torrent GXP, of course
No, but his entry was the one they drew out of a hat. Me, I would've chosen a G5 XFE, but only becuase I couldn't afford the gas and insurance for anything else.

Detroit 2009: Chrysler 200C Concept
§carlet §wordfish replied to Intrepidation's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)The Nassau is sharp and edgy. The 200c is soft and curvy. Other than the grille there are no analogous shapes or edges. The only similar thing I notice is the crease along the sides, and that becomes completely different again once it reaches the rear. Could you point out to me how they DO look alike?
