    SAAb Stream

    Based off the G8 platform, RWD inline 5 turbo, manual trans. Lightweight but luxurious and sporty.

    Meant to take the Saab brand a little upmarket.



    I know I didn't put wheels on it, couldn't come up with some I liked. Comments welcome.

    I like this idea a lot, let's see some more drawings. Show us some profile sketches so we can see its shape.

    Thanks, currently that's all I have on this. I usually don't do profile drawings.

    I love it and I would keep the blank "smoothie" wheels, they look awesome.

    Looks really good, but if it weren't for the grille I would have said it's a baby Cadillac.

    I like it, but I do have to agree with Slidways. I think the hockey-stick C-pillar needs to be incorporated more to be more Saabish.

    O and if you can't come up with wheels to put on for a Saab, their turbine wheels that debuted on teh Aero-X is always a good backup.

    thanks guys,

    I messed witht he C-pillar a lot on this car. I wanted to make it strong but not a direct rip off of their ither models.

    As for the wheels, I was going to try some three spokes.

    Great design! Yeah I was going to say use three spoke wheels-I like their new version... it's real retro.. I definitely like the rear and how well it incorporates with the rear. I personally think the C pillar is great, but maybe could expand a little more so there's not a Huge Malibu-like blind spot. Other than that, it looks awesome.

    Profile views give you the format to actually design. It allows you to lay down design cues central to your chosen marque. Don't overlook this very important step.

    I'll remember that when I'm getting paid to design. :P
