Re: Buick Skyhawk
Wonderful. Perfect for going head-to-head with the likes of the Audi A3 and Mini Cooper. Originally Posted by PlumLoony

This is exactly what I was thinking to, that it's TorRed handywork under a new username??? Originally Posted by Phoenix

This one is pretty good, though I agree the Buick badge should be in the grill.
Then I scrolled & saw this:

This to me confirms it! TorRed is back!
!!!IF It's A Chevrolet & RWD, Don't ride in it!!!
ALL Chevy's NEED to be FWD/F-AWD!!!
If it's a Toyota/Lexus/Scion, Don't ride in/drive it!!

Re: Buick Skyhawk
I like it. It looks more aggressive than that A3 and that, to me, is hard to do.

Re: Buick Skyhawk
I like it from the front wheel, back. Really good stuff.
The front makes it look like you're trying too hard. Sorry.

Re: Buick Skyhawk
I like it.
The recessed grille and large Buick badge give it some "attitude" that really works, as do the two character lines on the sides, even like the widow "dip" which I am not always a fan of.
Base it on the next gen Corsa (Gamma) with a 1.6L Turbo and you would have something to attract young buyers to Buick.Last edited by SierraGS; 07-25-2010 at 07:28 PM.

Re: Buick Skyhawk
I think that's very good, just as you've drawn it. You're very talented.
I lilke your treatment of the tri-shield. Like a huge belt buckle, a sign of pride.
The way the front fender/headlamp are sectioned to appear seperate from the hood/ center mass. And the "lightning bolt" line in the lower front corner. Very classy.
I might have attempted a "sweap spear" ala LaCrosse in the rear upper body, but the decending belt-line in the rear door makes that irrelevant.

Re: Buick Skyhawk
Love the design. Would love to see it with 7 or more spoke wheels to fit in with Buick's current spoke preference

Nicely done. I'd love to see that name again in the lineup.
