Ideas for sketch competitions

[PurdueGuy]

I thought of an idea for a future sketch competition, and figured it'd be more useful to have an overall thread for people to share ideas than to just share mine.

I think there could be a number of competitions based on the GM fuel cell "skateboard" concept. For example,

"Show us your ideas for a full size sedan based on the skateboard chassis, keeping in mind the extra freedom of no engine compartment, but the need for crashworthiness..."

More could be done for other vehicle classes, as well. Probably do them spread out so it doesn't get too dull.

So, what are your ideas for future sketch competitions?

[Flybrian]

There are quite a few ideas in and around my head and the heads of others, some of which you won't expect. But, of course, we'd love to hear your suggestions and run competitions based on them if we can.

Ditto for 'Chop.

Take a GM Concept Car and make it production ready.

[ToniCipriani]

I have one for October...

A hearse!

If there's one I'll probably redesign my Escalade Hearse for it.

And maybe this month, since it's summer, I'd say convertibles.

HOW ABOUT

pontiac G8

pontiac G4 based on extended kappa

chevy midsize rwd chevelle / monte carlo?

chevy upcoming small thea

[NOS2006]

Or a NG RWD G6.

I like Fly's ideas though.. he's doing a good job.

[ToniCipriani]

I think the direction of design comps is going to be less restrictive as it's used to be, not like limiting to a specific model, or even GM.

I sort of like this idea better than a specific model, since there's more space for creativity.

Hi, I am new to C&G. Here are my ideas:

-ng Acura CL

-ng Honda Accord

- Bentley SUV

- Cadillac BRX crossover predictions

[MRDETROITMETAL]

Personally..I would like to see designs for an ENTIRE new car company....

drawings with a complete line up of models, depnding upon your new "brand" and its market direction, as appropo, I have seen several of you do this on your own already and the results were spectacular !!!

Ths may thake time to do it, and would require a "sketch time period" to discuss each others concepts and refine them a bit, which would be established prior to the rendering time period for submitting the final enrties, but I think it could be well worth the effort here to do this ??? ..and you would only need one set of cars grouped together as a single entry.

personally, id like to see the revival of the honda prelude. but this is a GM site, so i'll stick to a cadillac s-class fighter.

[matt41]

new Del Sol

[76ChevyTrucker]

Hmm, I'd like to see something along the lines of a new wagon from Chevy, either a Nomad-like 2door wagon, or something along the lines of the full-size Caprice wagons. You know, something to compete with the Magnum in a sense.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

B-Body replacement.

(C'mon. Please. I asked nice.)

[76ChevyTrucker]

YJ we could combine our two requests. make the new wagon also a replacement for the B-body.

Sure. We could actually do a full line (which would be just a sedan, wagon, and police variants of both). For this one, we abolish the "two view rule" so the workload is easier.

Something like that.

UH uh...now ur thinking, that would work.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

For something non-GM (if we ever decided to do it):

Select one ATV company and one product from that company and transform it into a car carring the company name. (This would exclude Honda and Suzuki.)

[c6z07]

What about making a car that is completley opposite of the brand's marketing and design direction....just a thought........

DANCIN BANANAS!!!!

[Turbojett]

Midsize Zeta coupe--any brand

GMX346 (Corvette-based) Pontiac Sports Car.

or we could do a contest where the subject is completely random, at the participant's choice. That would get a LOT of people in on the game, I think.

[ToniCipriani]

Another photochop idea: Pursuit vehicle. Preferably your own car for your own town.

[rjbartrop]

The Electric Muscle Car

GM has decided to build a line of cars based on the HyWire platform, and they want a high performance model that will get people excited about electric cars. Electicity is clean, electricity is quiet, but can you make it sexy?

[fuel_shopper]

there needs to be a pickup competition. Like, maybe the next gen Colorado or Ram.

[04monteintimidator]

um... i have an awesome idea for the sketch competitions...

getting the voting thread on the BRX up!!

on a more serious note... i think itd be sweet to have people design a car around a random non-automotive related object of their choosing... such as a clock... or a lamp... a picture of the object should be provided along with the sketch... and a creative name should be thought up (a car designed after a lamp shouldnt be called "Lampcar" a more creative name such as "Luminescence" would be preffered)
