    Total fail. Look at all this flat under-detailed space that the designer didn't know what to do with:


    o_O ;) :D

    All the best,

    For an SUV it looks nice enough. Nothing special. but not grotesque thankfully. Interior looks cheap

    Big picture question. What is the biggest design challenge for cars? I'm not a designer, but I know enough to realize design is about trade offs.

    In housing, for example, the biggest problem is garage doors. Particularly garage doors on small houses. The result looks like a baby pig with a big snout.

    Thoughts?

    The overall architecture or the 'bones' dictate the design. The world's best design can be a fail if the architecture isn't right, and that includes proportions, dimensions, etc. The Aztec is the poster child for a less than ideal architecture. AMC Pacer anyone?
