I thought I would attempt to design (or style) a car using mostly faceted surfaces, like an F-117. It hasn't been detailed out with the stuff that would make it real (shut lines, head lights, etc.), but here's the general arrangement of surfaces I came up with. Just a silly exercise:

What do you guys think?

More angles in front. Too much slab.

I usually peruse the design threads on ecomodder when I get the urge to geek out. There's some amazing stuff there!!

Did you steal that front end from Acura's chrome beak era?

I would deepen the cutback on the nose. Right now it's a little too square in plan. Just moving the point of the prow forward a bit would help. I like the sculpting of the backs of the front fenders where it waists in, and how that's mimicked at the fronts of the quarters. I don't really have a problem with the rocker area, but it might look cool to have that same waist sculpting mirrored (in a smaller way) along the bottom of the door line to form subtle flares at the front and back wheel arches.

I know the roof line is short, but it might benefit from a lateral break line about 2/3 of the way back, and a slight chamfer down to lower the top line of the back glass.

I like the sides particularly the fender joint to the door. The front/hood needs to be broken up. Maybe try having the hood middle lower then the fenders so the hood is concave.

Not gonna lie the truck lid is a mess.

I would decrese the depth of the V of the windshields, slope the roof toward the rear (back lower than the front) and use more of a true hatch that runs glass all the way to the back. The rear bumper looks nice perhaps some simulated difussers and exhaust to break up the bottom.

Overall a good effort that shows promise.

Just make sure it doesn't return any radar beams from the front or back, then enjoy the cops scratching their heads.
