Like this?

^that's the SHIT!!! ..... though i would go for a clearer and balanced style.. one or three girls centered on the bonnet and group shots on either side...

I've never driven a car, and if I do own a car in the future it will likely be a cheap one, but if money were no object, I'd want a Jaguar XJ:

^ + infinity! you have good taste, sir!
I gather you would be located in a metropolitan area...

[jrongow]

Hmmm... Nice design guys! Personally, I'd go for a Mazda3, though the only complain I have abt it is the small boot size. And if I'm gonna customize it, I'd make huge sideview mirrors, so reverse parking becomes so much easier.

^ Thanks! My understanding of automobiles basically ends at the exterior, but I know what designs I like.

I live in a medium-sized city. My parents don't have an automobile in part because of my father's views on the environment and in part because he works within easy walking distance of where we live.

^ yep.. makes total sense.... ( however if you live and breathe vehicles... that is anathema... ) that is the only reason i am a Mech. Engineer now.. to design cars, in one way or the other...

Jrongow... how is the COE there? has it been reduced for 2010?

[krotch]

Huge sideview mirrors. Ugh. I'm going to make mine smaller. Once you've been driving a while, you'll learn the size of your car and won't need them to be big.

^ you evidently haven't heard a big triple, eh?

No I haven't, but I still think the mt-01 has the wilder sound. (plus it's v-engine and air-cooled )

Triumph's inline engine design made it sounds a lot smoother I think...

Spoiler

and I don't like it's classic styling..

You can say if the Rocket III resembling the sound of space shuttle main engine, MT-01 sounds like a solid rocket booster

^ mate .. it is like the Scooby flat four vs honda vtec debate i had may moons ago.. again ... ( i own a scooby and love the uneven rumble..) And yeah.. hahha I am not a fan of V-Twins... so each to ones own.. ... haha good choice too (at least it isn't a godawful Buell/Harley) ...

Unfortunately it's gone up recently, what with the economy improving...

The new Dodge Charger is very nice, I'd say that is my dream car for now.

I was set on a Ford Mustang GT for a long time, until this car came out.

Cars I will never be able to afford, but drive in my dreams are the Jaguar XJR-15, Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan Skyline GTR R34, 1974 Ford Gran Torino, and the Dodge Viper SRT10.

"Everyone has one" .

Umm, no. Well, my answer to this would be: nice-coloured like black car is my dream car

[sswishbone]

Ah! You don't EVER modify the paintjob on a supercar! Supercars have special paints that totally follow the smoothness of the chassis and amplify the angles that make them beautiful! NEVER seek to improve perfection!

[Nigelkun]

^ ... LMAO!!!
Each layer of paint is optimised to provide the optimal weight distribution.
each fleck of paint is personally signed off by the person who painstakingly rendered the fleck from its block of precious metal.

[QuickCrusader]

REVENTON!

[MinaLyn]

My dream car? Let's see...
It flies, shoots lazers and has ' Morning Musume ' written on the hood. What more could I want? No, just kidding...
Um. I don't know. As long as it works, I'm fine with it.

[sswishbone]

I have to say the new Maclaren prototype looks stunning, that could be a third on my list. I once saw a 2006 mustang on sale in manchester but alas I could not afford £26000

[Nigelkun]

Murray is going to show his follow-up to his F1 .. I'll wait for that... the new McLaren is too derivative as of now... IMHO of course

[Execrationer]

My dream car would be definitely be a Lamborghini Reventón..
