I like what you have done so far, but two things... One I think that the back drops off a wee bit too fast ( and its too round IMHO) and I would move the fender vent to the door jamb side of the fenderwell. Just my .02

Maybe just a wee bit of air. (I think I'm so funny) Anyhow, I might get mine up tomorrow. I'm modifing the pictures to make them smaller and more refined.

Here is one I have finished. It is based on GM's Sky/Solstice platform. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49935091/ I'll post my other one's later. I had some unexpected events come up (nothing bad, just time consuming).

Ok, I have another one up that I gave up modifying yesterday. It is really just a sports car but who knows? Maybe y'all can get good ideas from it.

Ok, here is the second to last finished one. Enjoy, give ideas, and, if you can't help it, make fun of my ugly drawings. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49946331/

I thought with this one I could do a mid-engine, all-wheel drive car with the window-within-a-window feature. I thought the back could just be a cargo area. On the Sky/Solstice platform Alcyone I couldn't see it working well with that body design.

I'll be waiting for any comments, polite insults (lol), and ideas. Also, I'm still waiting for commercial ideas. Lets just show any Subaru personal that we care about the Alcyone and would like to see it back and looking good. If not, this is still a fun product that activates the creative parts of our minds.

I must sound really awkward. Lol.

i think it needs more of a lower feel that was the original appeal of the car

Yeah, I suck at wheels as anyone can tell form the disfigured circles. Lol. So do those drawings give y'all any ideas for what a new Alcyone might look like?

I may throw something together depending how bored I'm feeling. I did some quick mods in the SVX drawing in my locker, vents, prototype spoiler, front wheels pulled forward a few inches. (I prefer as small a front overhang as I can get)

How about a B11S with a new nose, and the window in a window treatment....

Funnest car I have ever driven. Not to mention the loads of neck breakers it attracts.

I have to do it every damned day, and it's still hard.

Ok y'all, thanks for posting and keep doing it. It was like I was the only one for a bit. Lol. I must sound sooo selfish.

Anyhow, here is the final picture I've drawn from awhile back. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49991275/ Now lets see how ugly y'all think it is.

Please remember that the window-in-a-window treatment was an answer to an engineering problem. It had nothing to do with style.

Do you recall what the engineering problem was? A Toyota Supra has a similarly large door, but its window is one solid piece...

Well, what ever the engineering problem (I would still like to what it is) at least I think it just looks neat.

So any of you other users got any design ideas?
Random drawings you don't mind sharing?
Or maybe interior drawings? (I can not do interiors at all)
