Welcome to Choppin' Competition #46! GM and Cadillac debuted the Provoq Concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year and received some pretty good feedback on it. Though they called it 'Provoq,' We all know that this is the prequel to Cadillac's upcoming vehicle, the BRX, which is guaranteed to be at least slightly different than the concept. Should you take on this task, your duty is to modify the Provoq concept into anything you can imagine. Do you want to show us a more production-ready vehicle? How about chopping that roof off? Maybe you'll even drop it and put it on 22s for a more dramatic effect. Whichever you choose to do, it's up to you to make your chop unique and exactly what you would like to see on the road! Please use only use the Provoq concept for your base image!

That's a great looking Cadillac and I'm sure it could wreak havoc on BMW, Mercedes, and Audi out there in the industry! Hope to see you (and everyone else) back again next time. Thanks to all who entered! Be sure to tune into our latest contest and sketch up a 2012 Corvette-based sportscar, which just started. Mid-engine? RWD? Cadillac XLR replacement? Pontiac Banshee? You be the judge! Just be sure to get your sketch or rendering in before the March 20th deadline! The 1st-place winner will have their concept featured on the Cheers and Gears homepage and Design Showcase! Check out the Showcase for all out past winners. Congratulations and thanks again!

...and it's KC! Happy Birthday and I hope you have a great day!

Welcome to Sketch Competition #23! While we know that the Corvette is legendary, there is and always has been the possibility of making another vehicle off of the Corvette platform. Cadillac jumped on board to use this platform for the XLR a few years back, but not many rumors are flowing regarding the XLR's existence past the current generation. After the debut of the next-generation Corvette, who knows if it will be accompanied by a sister car? Should you accept, your task will be to design a 2012 Corvette-based sportscar. It doesn't matter if you badge it a Cadillac, Pontiac, Saturn, Buick, or anything else as long as it is not a Chevrolet. Currently, rumors are clashing on whether the Corvette will be smaller or mid-engine. You take the seat as CEO and decide if you want to keep the current size and configuration of the Corvette, if you want a mid-engine Lotus-sized sportscar, or if you want to change the car's setup any other way you like. Although this is a sketch competition, we encourage your creativity in also providing a short specs list on the car (including but not limited to FR/MR/?? setup, RWD vs AWD, engines/transmissions, target curb weight). So get creative and show us that non-Chevrolet sportscar that you've always imagined but GM has never produced! Please include at minimum 2 (two) of the following: *3/4 Front View *3/4 Rear View *Interior View **Entries without two perspectives will still be accepted, but will incur a 2-point penalty at the end of voting** Remember, people will be voting based on the overall presentation of your entry, so the more views the better, including ones not specifically listed above. Aside from 800x600 size guidelines, remember this should be a non-Chevrolet vehicle. Deadline is Thursday, March 20th @ 11:59PM your local time. Good luck!

Well lucky for you for having nice enough weather and people with money around you to drive those cars at this time of year...

Here are a few pics of our new kitten, Mandy:

your mom Flint

She's a model and loves to travel.. there's nothing wrong with that!

f@#king hippies

Ahhh, saw the same one again today.

But.. but they said it was a one-of-a-kind frame! Damn mass marketing...

Of course! :AH-HA_wink:

forest

mist

I'll kill you.

You guys are terrible..

Anddd here she is: I honestly think this is the closest I've ever paid attention to detail in a chop. I just tried to clean it up and give it better proportions...

Wow, that's professional... You actually did a damn good job!

Ahh, as promised, a peeeekture:

+4 Absolutely! I couldn't agree more. Plus, with the Traverse, why do we need the Outlook? :rotflmao:
