The grill is a little to large for me but everything else is good.

That's because it is a charger. Or was anyway. There's a few photoshopped Monte Carlo concept cars that were done using a Dodge Charger as the photo they started with.

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.

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 would soooo buy that in a second!!!! you should send that to GM!!

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

If you haven't already, check out my computer rendering in this thread. Also I did a rear 3/4 hand sketch prior to the computer rendering...
