stealing more of your ideas. Some auto company really ought to employ you, instead of stealing your ideas, but I guess its cheaper to just come here and wait for you to come up with a 'chop.
You did that GTO based off the current one, have you done one on how you think it should look without using the current as a base? [as long as they're going to steal your ideas, may as well try to get GM to do it right

It was in the Bullitt v. Charger issue of Motor Trend, but it was a letter from a reader, not the magazine. Reproduced for your reading pleasure:
pg 34
CARBON COPY
"The 2008 Pontiac GTO is just a redesigned Mustang ("Trends"). The character lines on the side are reverse of the Mustang's. Take out the center pillar, put in more glass. Wrap the taillights around the quarter, and add a different spoiler. And the same for the nose of the car. If you can't beat the best, you might as well copy it."
[and this is my 500th post, if I wasn't cool I'd be a Mach 1

doug, they blatantly stole your front design. I hadnt noticed because of the fugly side view drawing, but seeing it photoshopped, it looks VERY similar to your work 
I still think yours looks way better though

whao! that looks pretty Sweet SVTstinger 
one more ting:
BM you're seriously getting noticed by the auto industry, but in a less than good way. i dont see why they dont just hire you! if they're going to steall all of your original and awesome designs, you might as well get paid for it. really irks me... have you told them yet? what a bunch of losers i still find it hard to beleive that some professional designer is out there, looking at your images and trying to steal them quite frankly, you're way better than most auto designers out there right now i really hope they stop all of this "i stink at designeing so i'll steal this dude's idea" nonsense. its just wrong :notnice:
and plus, their version still aint as good as your was, i mean for starters, its not orange :P
oh and i hope no one minds, but SvtStinger, and BM, im gonna try and work that last version into a chevelle, i can see it in my head! hope theres not prob there

I like Doug's rendition. I think they'd sell more cars if it looked like that.

Hey SVTStinger I don't mind you modding them just put a line on the image that you modded it.
