8th generation Monte Carlo

Most people need some kind of existing car picture to start with. Then they photoshop the rest.
I like the idea. But not a fan of the huge oversized grill. Looks like a Kenworth truck. Besides, I think Chevy missed the mark when they did the huge grill with a horizontal split.
Pontiac is known for the vertical split grill. Which I like. I think GM wanted to do the split grill, but for some reason didn't want to put a Pontiac-style grill on a Chevy. Mistake in my opinion.

Yes, Taz is right. My design's front 3/4 rendering I posted started out as an image of a Charger. Need something to start with as a base to get the proportions and perspective right. I actually did a rear 3/4 hand sketch of the same design, prior to my computer rendering.

Less retro but include cues from past Monte Carlo designs and express them in a more modern form while including Chevrolet's current trademark look, e.g. the two-tiered grille, but a larger more aggressive looking one that uses the entire height of the front fascia. A few other Monte Carlo trademarks that have to be incorporated are the swooping side flares and vertically oriented tail lights. V8 power standard in SS.
This is a design I did earlier this year for the next Monte Carlo...

I do like the front fascia on that sketch Mr.Monte posted. I can say I've had quite a few people tell me they really like my design overall, or for the most part. Some don't like it. It's all personal preference and taste. As an architecture grad, I know that a design will never please everybody
