Distinguishing features

[GoldOxide_imp]

Car styling involves a lot more dynamic interactions and dependencies than motorcycle styling. Much about car styling is driven by size and proportion.

I see these major influences:
[ul] [li]Ground clearance[/li] [li]Location of beltline and height of the doors[/li] [li]Ratio of height to length and width[/li] [li]Size and shape of greenhouse[/li] [li]Length of hood and trunk[/li] [li]Size of wheel openings[/li] [li]Size of wheels[/li] [li]Location of wheels with respect to front, center, and rear of the car[/li] [li]Paint color[/li] [li]Wheel styling
[/li][/ul]

Sorry - disagree Stichill. A car is just a cage. That is it. A cage on wheels. A car will mean nothing in a few decades or less. A bike on the other hand will likely mean even more.
