When you want an aerodynamic sedan you get one shape

- P re-refresh Saturn Ion

- 2006 Nissan Sentra

There’s a touch of the C6 about that.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > pip bip - choose Corrour 02/26/2020 at 09:20

Hey, the Precept! One of my sophomore-year instructors was the designer. Fun story about how they fought with engineers about the aero; the engineers wanted a teardrop blob like the EV1, and the designers wanted hard edges. They put the two competing models in the wind tunnel, and the hard-edge version came out ahead.

The PNGV program was really cool. Ford, GM, and Chrysler bitched and moaned about not being able to make money and be competitive while meeting emissions, fuel economy, and waste targets, so the Clinton administration got them together and said, hey, instead of competing, y’all just work together on this.

My junior-year project (which I had only 6 weeks to work on, since I came in late because of my internship) was like the last hurrah, literally 2 weeks after we presented our models, the Bush admin cancelled the program at the end of 2001. Six of us did GM, six Ford, and five Chrysler. I did a Jeep. The idea was hitting 80 MPG, 80 % recyclable, 4 seats. I wanted a hydrogen fuel cell and motors at each wheel. And I wanted it to be a convertible.

(Gimme a break, I did this shit almost 20 years ago. W hen I started, everyone was 6 weeks into sketching and decision-making for their model, and I had about a week until modeling started. That’s a 1:4 scale clay. Nobody else had done matte-finish stuff before, so I had to figure that out in paint )

I wish I had photos of the tape drawing, which I did on a big sheet of acrylic.

Yup... 80mpg car tech, where car companies had the tech development funded by the government, that they proceeded to do little or nothing with.

If I was in charge of that government program , I would have included a “use it or lose it” clause related to the intellectual property.
