Q+a

Age: 22 Male/Female: MALE Country of origin: NORTHERN IRELAND 1.Is there a particular car model that you like at the moment? LEXUS IS 300. 2. What exactly do you like about this car? SHAPE AND SPORT PERFORMANCE (I.E. SPEED, RELIABILITY, QUICKNESS). 3. What colour would you choose for you car? SILVER/GREY. 4. How would you describe the design of you personal favourite car with one word? (elegant, sporty, modern, aggressive, cute… SPORTY. 5. How do like cars with a Retro-Design? (Mini, Fiat 500..?) I LOVE THEM. ESPECIALLY THE '69 MINI COOPER. 6. What kind of basic shape/model would be interesting for you? Is there something that you don’t like at all? (Small car, Van, SUV, Limousine, Sports car, station wagon…) ANY BASIC PEUGEOT WOULD BE INTERESTING AS IT'S A DEPENDABLE BRAND AND ALWAYS PRODUCES INTERESTING (ACCEPTABLE) SHAPES. FOR THE MODEL, MY EARLIEST FAVOURITE IS '106', I HAVEN'T REALLY DOUBTED THE BRAND SINCE. I REALLY DESPICE ESTATE CARS/WAGONS. 7. Is there something that annoys you with the way cars look? MISPROPORTIONED STRUCTURES ON CHEAP CARS, SUCH AS A LONG FRONT END, MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST LOOK STUPID. 8. Can you think of a car that you find particularly ugly? FIAT MULTIPLA 9. What kind of feature or quality of a car would be an absolute no-go for you? (cheap, pretentious, clumsy…) SOMETHING SLOW WITH A REALLY STRANGE SHAPE. WE'RE NOT LIVING IN SPACE YET FOR THESE THINGS TO BE ACCEPTABLE, SO TO BE SEEN IN SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T GO FAST ENOUGH TO MISS BEING JUDGED IN, WOULD BE A SOCIAL DISASTER! UNLESS I HAD A REALLY HOT GIRLFRIEND IN THE CAR WITH ME :P 10. Do you prefer round, squared or streamline shapes? ROUND (4%), SQUARED (47%), STREAMLINE (49%) 11. Do you like edges and rebates in the body? EDGES = IN A QUALITY VEHICLE: YES. CHEAP-SHAPED CAR: NO... / REBATES = POSSIBLY, IN AN ATTRACTIVE CAR, TO ADD SPORTINESS. 12. Would you like round headlights? Would you prefer different ones? ROUND HEADLIGHTS ARE NICE, BUT I PREFER A RHOMBUS LIGHT. 13. What kind of rear would you prefer? SQUARED WITH LOW-BUMPERS AND GROOVE-CUTS AT THE BOTTOM FOR EXHAUSTS. EXAMPLE: http://bp1.blogger.com/_obSE4wMFgXI/R5gR8ssVy1I/AAAAAAAAAFo/BiSWjIbdYAc/s 1600-h/chaser_rear.jpg 14. What shape would you prefer for the front? rounded, squared, more like an arrow as sportscars have it...) SQUARED WITH A SLIGHT ROUNDNESS. EXAMPLE: http://bp0.blogger.com/_obSE4wMFgXI/R5gR8csVy0I/AAAAAAAAAFg/k6kifw760Hc/s 1600-h/chaser_front.jpg 15. Can some details stick out from the design? I PREFER THE MINIMALIST LOOK IN MY CAR, IT SUGGESTS MORE IS UNDER THE BONNET. CARS THAT LOOK GREAT HAVE TO IMPROVISE AS THE PERFORMANCE, ETC, USUALLY SUCKS. 16. Could your car have an unusual, striking design? STRIKING AT A LOWLEVEL, I WOULD PREFER BRAND LABELS ON MY DOORS AS THEY STICK WITHIN THE MINIMALIST LOOK. 17. Do you like chrome details? YES, CHROME OUTLINE ON DOORS, AND WHEEL FLAPS, BUT ONLY CLASSIC CARS CAN PULL IT OFF, ONLY THE MINI!!! :D 18. Do you like radiator grills? RADIATOR GRILLS ARE REALLY COOL, AGAIN, ON CLASSIC VEHICLES, E.G. '57 CHEVY (CHEVROLET) BEL-AIR. EXAMPLE: http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1950-1959/1957-Chevrolet-Bel-Air-Red-gb-le.jpg

19. What colour would you chose for the interior? Would you like coloured details? Maybe matching to the outside colour? MATCHING, YES. 20. How must the car appear on the inside? (comfy, modern, sporty, classic…) DEFINITELY COMFORTABLE, DRIVING WOULD BE A PAIN OTHERWISE. 21. How must a car look on the inside, so you will like it? IT MUST CONTAIN GREATNESS, BUT WITH A SIMPLISTIC LOOK AS TO SUGGEST A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF WORK HAS BEEN PUT INTO IT. I.E. TIDY SOUND SYSTEM (COVERED CABLES, BLA, BLA). 22. What must the seats be like? RELAXING BUT WITHOUT THE SQUEAKINESS FROM A LEATHER SEAT, OR TOO COMFORTABLE FOR SLEEPING @ THE WHEEL. :P VERY DANGEROUS HA. 23. Is there something especially important for you with the interior? NOPE. 24. How important is comfort? REASONABLY IMPORTANT. 25. How should the dashboard look like? (simple modern….) SIMPLE, BUT ASK ME WHEN I MORE MONEY TO MY NAME AND HAVE PURCHASED A FEW CLASSICS, CLASSIC. 26. Would you like separate instruments or all behind one window? Would you like round instruments? IF YOU MEAN DIALS, AS MANY AS POSSIBLY WITHIN A CONTENT VIEW AS THEY MAY BECOME IRRITATING; BUT ROUND? ONLY IF A HUGE CLOCK LIKE THE MODERN MINI IS NOT THERE. 27. Would you like digital instruments? AGAIN, I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT AN INSTRUMENT IS, BUT, DIALS, DIGITAL ALWAYS OVER PINS, AS THEY'RE NOT ACCURATE WITH THE FUEL, NOR THE MPH, NOR THE TEMPERATURES, HA. 28. Can you think of something that would strike you as typically American when you see or sit in a car? THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE OTHER SIDE.
