Inspired by an Oakley backpack, the Hyundai Hellion inspires passion in a 3-door, AWD, crossover SUV with its aggressive exterior, wide stance, piercing headlights angled towards its dominant grille, prominent scoop on the clamshell hood, and customizable, removable canvas roof panels. During the Chicago Auto Show, I spoke with Hyundai’s chief designer, Joel Pieskowski about the eco-friendly concept car, complete with a V-6 common rail diesel engine (CRDi), hydration packs, cantilevered taillights and seating for four.

YOU GUYS ARE TRULY ON THE RIGHT PATH. THE OTHER USA (BIG 3) CAR COMPANIES - SORRY TO SAY TODAY, DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE A CLUE!!
I am over 50+ years old and a college graduate. You have a winner CAR design even for my age group too!!!!!!!!!!
And certainly the same will be found for the 18 to 35 age group. With the correct pricepoint marketing approach, you will be able to out sell most other CAR people - in 2008.
When the hell can you get something like this to market??
However, you will first have to certainly increase the Horsepower of the vehicle!!!
And get away from a diesel powered vehicle. The kids do not want to hear all of that ping, ping running noise.
Do not be stupid in your marketing approach - the entire image and idea of the vehicle is MAX Design Image with MAX Power - all wrapped up in a future looking small, custom package!!!
You are on the right track. There is nothing else out there like it - get it into the market place now. Others are going to copy your design ideas quickly and get their design product into the CAR market - ahead of your original ideas?????????
