When I'm done, Ill post the finished results in some pix hostings - or @ least at myspace.com the GT-four sketch is 1 out of 3 rally cars I wanted to present in my portfolio, but most likely will only have time to develop 1-2. The other ones a renault and an evo... Ill ask for all of your opinions of course

just upload them on photobucket.com and post the img #. have u seen the new evo concept? it is ugly as f#@$. all the cars are going with theese square front ends and i fing hate it.

Im not really sure why the front square trend persists. Im guessing that contemporary designer/tuner always tried to keep that oldschool tuned s13 or smoothed-skyline square looks... yeah I saw the evo concept. It might seem square-ish, but for rally purposes its actually quite aerodynamic. Zero lift up to a point & after all they kinda need all that air to come inside the grill. But its trying too much to look like a scion tc/new skyline hybrid...not that authentic really. shoot, evo viii has waaay more oomph' to its look. But nothing beats the originality of gen 5 & gen 7 celica design. Even during their time respectively, there was no other cars that look like 'em (and ever will be).
