Ya know, seein all the posts and hearin' all the comments on all the new cars shown in Detroit I started thinkin it'd be pretty interesting to do a TV reality show about what it takes to be a car designer. The whole season would be an automaker like GM or Ford or Chrysler to sponsor the show and then get a group of people to participate. The show would start out with maybe 2-3 small groups to form teams that would develop a design or maybe you just go head on person versus person. The automaker would pick a theme or car to design or redesign. Then they'd be given parameters for the vehicle and then the individuals or teams would have to develop a design from concept sketches to full presentation. The automaker could probably supply things to the contestants such as design materials and maybe support from the model shop to help them with presentation models and computer generated models.
The basic idea though is that you'd have to develop your design, present it at various levels until you have a solid design and then the final show you'd go up in front of all the big wigs, present your idea and then the winning design picked by the automaker gets made into a mock up show car for the Detroit show?

What do you guys think? Interesting? Lame? LOL!

"STEP RIGHT UP FOLKS YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON THE DESIGN IS RIGHT!"
