Wait...WHAT?

Yes, interior design. You've seen a lot of my designs (Pontiac Phoenix, Saturn VISTA, Chevrolet Lumina, etc.), but those were all side-profiles, and you can barely make out layouts of those cars' interiors.

However, all is not lost! So, now I present my first interior/instrument panel drawing...

Saturn VISTA

Some features include:
  • Special Guage Cluster that is completely invisible when car is turned off
  • Standard LCD display with available Backup Camera
  • Standard Dual-zone climate control
  • Available Push-button Start
  • Available Heated/Cooled Seats
  • Available Rear seat audio/climate controls
  • Available Power rear sunshade
Comments? :D It needs some revising, I know...

Pretty good! Just two things:
Steering wheel mounted controls are a little too thick.
The push button start is massive.
Overall, it's a nice design. Good use of the new corporate radio/switchgear.

Vista? Is this car going to crash? ;)

Great try.
Maybe the nav. system runs on Vista?
Nav. system: You have arrived at your destination, 323 Evans Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Driver: But this is in the middle of Nicaragua...
:lmao:

Really? How so?

Ah, but if you have been paying attention to my drawings, the push-button start I use for this car is a large knob.

I love it, but I think the LCD screen should be bigger.
I tried to size it in line with the Invicta's LCD screen.

Plus the PRNDL indicator seems out of place, it should be in the instrument cluster.
I placed the PRNDL indicator directly under the driver information screen. This has been commonplace in recent GM cars, such as the G-Bodies, so I included it here.

looks like the current Odyssey and the spy found Lacrosse.
I did actually inspire the design off of the Invicta's design, just because the two would be built on the same platform (My Saturn VISTA design is designed to ride on the EPII platform.) I had no idea it beared any resemblence to the Odyssey until I looked at your post! Heck, who knew? :cool:


Thanks for the comments, I'm going to make some revisions.

I don't know, the steering wheel just seems kinda thick around those parts.



See how the controls are kinda streamlined into the wheel? I'm not sure what it is, yours just seem kinda big.

Oh I see, but most newer cars seem to be getting bigger navigation screens. Maybe its just from the drawing that it seems smaller.

Yea but thats an old body, I don't even think GM makes them anymore. Most cars have the gear indicator in the instrument cluster. Its probably not a big deal as long as it doesn't obstruct the view of the instrument cluster from the driver seat.

Still all and all its a very well done drawing.
