    That being said, IMHO the 3D renders SHOULD be the winning designs. I'm going to have to echo what some other people said that 2D drawings just give a very false and unrealistic sense of what an actual car will look like. It's too easy to cheat different views to make different angles look good. Not to mention the fact that almost all the 2D drawings, for some reason, tend to make the wheels look HUGE with gaudy looking wheels. I'm not sure why that is, but I hate that look.

    I'm not saying the 1st place design is a bad one, but I am reserving judgement until we see an actual 3D render of what the final car will look like because I think at this point that 2D drawing is just too unrealistic to know.

    Personally, I still think Mario Morra's design is the best one by far.

    I also think the one that won the HP Technology award is really nice looking and I would really like to see some other views.
    Just because it's a side, front or rear view doesn't mean it's a 2D drawing. Do understand what a 3D perspective is?

    The picture at the top sure looks like a drawing to me and not a 3D render. I use Solidworks for a living, so I am well aware of what 3D perspective is.

    Happy for you, can you draw something by hand (old school) or are you totally depend of software, and I don't think you do know what a 3D perspective is. And no I am not changing my story, you are. enough already!

    Ok, I see it now. I had no idea we were talking about these. I guess when the first post says 1st place winner with a drawing underneath it I thought it was safe to assume that's what we were talking about.

    At least with eight different concepts in the two pictures submitted,FF5 shouldn't have any trouble coming up with one good design to build.
