Jul 16th 2008 11:04PM haha... another funny comedian here on autoblog. Do you even have any knowledge on design trend in automotive industry and any idea how cars are designed? because, you probably don't! btw, the new Scion 'xB' copy you are talking about is based on a concept car that is more than 2 years old!!! now, who's coping what?

Stunning Kia Forte revealed! {Autoblog}
Jul 3rd 2008 5:13AM of course, to NON-trained eyes, if they have any similar graphics, this looks like this, that looks like that... you gotta look at the whole car. not just graphics. in that sense, there is nothing that looks like this pretty handsome car.

May 6th 2008 7:30PM "it's styled so anonymously..."
You kidding me? There is nothing anonymous about its design. The front/rear-end graphics are so dashing, but overall, with its dipping DLO and Z- character line/surface transition, it is quite striking.
"Styled so anonymously..." HAHA... wake up and smell the gas oozing out of exhaust of this coupe
Spied? BMW M1 Prototype caught undisguised (maybe) {Autoblog}
May 4th 2008 10:31PM There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HOT about this garbage. It looks quite hideous actually. Either a 3D model rendering or photoshop of modified M3, it's quite boring and uninspiring. M3 is definitely awesome as is, but not when all tweaked, streched, squashed, with ill proportion and non-sense details. Obviously, not really a car designer who worked on this photo. The artist probably uust thought it would be cool to make a midengine car with everything you see on M3. Yuk. have some sense of style and design, and create something BMW actually might produce, not some joke to be discussed over the lunch at BMW design studios.
Tesla files suit against Fisker Automotive {Autoblog}
Apr 15th 2008 2:47PM I don't think YOU understand the story. This is more like how is goes. Tesla commissioned Fisker to do work on the design of their 4 door Whitestar. While they were working together, they probably came to disagreements on couple issues. Perhaps, Tesla gave Fisker very bad package to work with, Fisker wasn't willing to comprise on the design that his name was riding on. Thus, the relationship broke off, unfortunately.
Now, Fisker needds to come out with something to generate more revenue and please its investors. And time is just right as electric cars are once again becoming noticed and discussed. Thus Fisker goes out and finds out that the Quantum Technologies will be willing to work with him to make his own 4 door electric sedan.
Fisker then goes on to design his own sedan (NOT simultaneously with Whitestar, but rather AFTER), with design cues of his own Fisker line of cars (Remember Tramonto and Latigo?). And being a good designer Fisker is, he knows how to make cars look good and makes it. (Low, Wide, and sleek - oh well...except some questionable details)
And Tesla, who's beaten by their once-commissioned Fisker to create a show car for the public to see, realized that they should've listened to Fisker about making a good looking car, because the design of their 'substandard' 4-door sedan was compromised by none but themselves.
Thus, Fisker is NOT using the design of Whitestar they delivered to Tesla. He is using his own design that he likes and was not compromised by others (Exectutives at Tesla who probably don't know much about CAR design)
But I do see the point of what Farminded mentioned about client-design consultancy relationship. Something to think about... for sure.
