Just focus on that picture on your left! In my Chi-Lite's voice, "Have you seen her?" Oh! "Have you seen her?" The New Cadillac CTS-V? I am absolutely in love with the new design! The front end is pungent with the look of a newness of expression, and excitement, and the hood is amply bosomed to a perfect thickness with the inclusion of that heat extractor, which gives the look of "oomph!"-ness and heavy horsepower. Couple that with the massive mesh grille which bears the resemblance of armored knight chain mail and you have a bad-ass Cadillac. And the grille's massive-ness drips into the lip of the lower fascia, an effect that is achieved by a portion of the lower lip being color segmented off just for the grille alone. This brings the grille into extra focus! In addition, the CTS-V's large hexagonal grille and the corresponding grille below it, which is off a mirrored shape, in addition to the large lower air intakes flanking it on the sides, which sympathetically embrace the shape of the headlamps, that begin above, all aid in a beautifully agressive look for the front end of the car.<br />

Now onto the side of the Cadillac, the 2016 version has alot more definition than its predecessors. The designers have achieved here, a look of strength. This I attribute to the downward "chiseled" off portion of the metal that extends from the windows to the door locks. It makes the cabin or greenhouse area, look to be somewhat set in from the sides of the car, which in turn, from a front view, makes the sides of the car stand out with what I want to call, a toned-shoulders look. <br />
<br />
Furthermore, in what is a trait of BMW cars, the front overhang on the CTS-V has been diminished by quite a chunk. The short overhang on an automobile is a power look, because it draws the eye to the front tires, and then back to the overhang again (several times a second - unconsciously), and the tires being diametrically larger than the width of the short overhang (well ofcourse), lends to an immediate visulation of motion. Infact, more specifically, it is the immediate visualization foward-moving motion.<br />

<br />
<br />
Also, on the side of the CTS-V, towards the rear end, is a lip at the very bottom, and it is color matched with the rear spolier atop the trunk. This creativity brings both the rear spoiler and the lip into the same field of vision and traps the rear taillamp in between it which in turn gives a dashing look to the side of the car! Amazing indeed! It's te details yall! It's the details! It's those things that the brain saw before the eyes know what it is that its liking! (Hahaha)<br />
<br />
Ok, well it's time to wrap up our CTS-V tour by moving to the rear of the car. Here, the first thing that pops into my vision is the rear spoiler. It imparts a sporty and racing-like character to the design of the car. And right below the opening on the bottom of the rear spoiler is an additional tailight. And then right below that is the Cadillac emblem which sits centered atop the chrome trunk handle. As I move lower down, I enjoy the design of the rear diffuser and how it flows over and around the exhaust pipes and then shoots off towards the sides of the rear. It's flashy, and a beautiful compliment. I also like the placement of the rear signal lights over each set of exhaust pipes, in addition to the placement of the reverse light, which is centered right in the middle of the rear air diffuser.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, I love the way the rear body softly, but purposefully, converges towards a well-seamed crease. And the entire rear seems to be precisely balanced around this seamed centerline. The lower air diffuser (as described above) adds the final touch and finishes off the design of the rear nicely.<br />

Competition for the road with this Cadillac CTS-V, belongs to the Mercedes E63, the BMW M5, and <br />
the Lexus GSF. But sitting amongst this pack, the Cadillac CTS-V sports its own unique flair. It has this cool vicious look, and the appearance of ready-to-rip-up-road just from a glance at it's front end alone. The chesty bulge in the hood, the wide upper grille (with mesh backing), that expands subconsciously into lines that seem to emnate from it's perimeter into the hood and into the side panels of the body. It even looks more vicious than the BMW M5! As much as BMW has a bad-a$$ trademark grille, to me it's a good competition with the CTS-V's front end. And that's not supposed to happen BMW! Right? BMW doesn't compete! Right? Hahaha, but it is! Don't you agree? (Whatever!) I think the CTS-V fits right in perfectly with its competitors and stands apart as a great player to contend with - and it's all American! How great is that?! Topping everything off, the Cadillac CTS gives the finger to the rest with its massive amount of horsepower - a supercharged 630-hp with 640 feet-lbs of torque, more than the Lexus, the BMW and the Mercedes C63! And its top speed is 200 mph! <br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyday I always try to get into work at least 15 minutes early so, in addition to checking my emails, I can quickly browse Autoblog.com for any juicy new automotive stuff. This time, as I scrolled through the list of automotive articles on their website, something unusually attractive caught my attention! I saw what looked like a new and sexily innovative SUV-looking-but-non-SUV Kia vehicle. Upon investigating further I saw that it was an updated Sedona minivan. It had been transformed into a splendidly new and utterly more attractive driving machine! Damn-ingly cute and damn-ingly sexy!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b id="docs-internal-guid-49f4005c-e182-2104-5adc-33062d189bd8" style="font-weight: normal;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"> </b><br />
<b id="docs-internal-guid-49f4005c-e182-2104-5adc-33062d189bd8" style="font-weight: normal;">I tried to figure out what was appealing to my creatively analytical senses, and then bingo! It hit me! The premiere area of innovative beauty is right at the front of the minivan. Here it is almost inventively similar to an SUV front-end in ratio and proportion. In particular, it is similar to two of the SUVs in Kia’s lineup: the Kia Sportage and Kia Sorento SUVs - both cute, chunky, and sexy SUVs. The front fascia of the new Sedona nearly approaches the viewer in the same way that the Kia SUVs do. The headlamps and grill set-up also have major similarity. The difference is , and ofcourse, as is with all minivans, the the slope of the hood. But however, that feature is still hyped up by pronounced creases into the hood that visually impart aggression into the appearance of the front end of the vehicle. This also visually divides the grille and headlamp sections of the fascia, and aids in corralling your attention in this area. The front headlamps themselves are amped up in styling with the addition of LED accents, which thrusts the Sedona into modern automotive styling territory. Lower down on the fascia, are the crisp, sharp chrome accents that surround and beautify the foglamps. This adds the last touch of stunning beauty to the front of the Kia Sedona.</b><br />

Upon investigating closer, one can also see design elements present in the lovely Honda Odyssey. This is particularly evident in the shaping of the middle and rear-most passenger windows. However, Kia took it another step further! Do you see how the side windows are semi-highlighted by a strip of chrome? It begins at the rear top of the rearmost passenger window and curves down to right behind the driver’s-side mirror. This is such an appropriately, differentiating, and innovative touch. This chrome strip also, by visual extension, causes the chrome door handles to pop into the viewer’s realm. Now here is something else atractive and defining,do you notice, how the rear D-pillar is blacked out? This gives the look of a seamlessly running greenhouse (windows area), and enables the rear spoiler to stand out! And that great stand-out adds that sporty zippy flair to the side of the Sedona! You see how everything works in sequencial cohesion?! And on this note, the side of the Kia Sedona minivan is concluded - gorgeously-intelligently designed. Kudos to the designers for thinking this segment of the Sedona's metal artistry through and through!</b></span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now lets hop and skip to the rear of the Sedona. Over here, the design is - just as the front is - an SUV-ish proportionally designed appearance. I really love it. Remember the Dodge Caravan advertisement calling it the man van? Aiding in this truck-ish or SUV-ish look at the rear of the Sedona, is the high rear window and the high placement of the rear lights. It is SUV-cool!

Now in conclusion, even though I love Dodge, and is biased towards Dodge a lot, the Kia Sedona is the real man-van! This minivan is just has the real manly-cool vibe via its aesthetic! Even a single bodybuilder guy can drive this! Haha! This is the best minivan design ever concieved! Ever! Preview the pictures and illustrations below so you can fall into agreement. Thanks in advance (lol)!<br />

WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! This derriere! All up in my grille! Ooooooh man! What seduction of the senses. What visual excitement" Flying right into my mind is Kevin Little's "Tempted to touch". Go to the link! Please do! Because this picture and that song will be everything! (Hahaha). <br />

Well to my pleasure, a yacht company, by the name of Strandcraft, has decided to make a shooting brake or high-powered sportswagon Mustang version. If this picture is anything to go by, then I wouldn't mind keeping celibate until she visits me in April of this year. And when she comes, it's going down!<br />

This picture is a splendiferous visualization of what a screaming, shooting Mustang would look like. My eyes can't withhold itself from repeatedly caressing the sides of this car - those wide hips - innumerable times. "Where I get that feeling"? (Lol) Huh? No words! I am almost speechless and going brain-blank as I attempt to analyze the deliciousness of this beauty. It is so perfect! The rear end with the fat tires has that look of weight, and rubber-burning smoke, and drifting, and cargasms! And that rear quarter panel, as it sits likes the hips on a vivacious girl, is all the life in the world. I can't say anything more. My hands are slowly failing to type anymore. My brain is slowing down. I'm drooling. I've passed out...I soo want to see this car speeding down the street by my house ASAP!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Well <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyM1eUT2siE&feature=youtu.be">"Never Say Goodbye"</a> to history!For awhile the public was given numerous sneak-peeks of what was to be the new 2015 Ford Mustang. Finally, though, after all those teaser shots, it is now officially released! What’s the verdict? What’s the grade? Well you will find out at the end of our story. Previously, we had also done a review on earlier leaked images of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, which you can check here at the following <a href="http://seranitafaristreetteam.blogspot.com/2012/09/retro-looks-to-leave-new-ford-mustang.html">link</a>

However, it seems sometimes that can be impossible to achieve. But wait, no, I think it’s not impossible to achieve at all. Or maybe sometimes you have to rob Peter to pay Paul. Well anyway, the new Ford Mustang for 2015 is here you all! And this baby is hot! It is on fire! There's a whole lotta smoke in the building right about now! The whole building is on fire! </span></span></span></div>

Now the task at hand was to redesign it and blend past with present ever so meticulously. Re-designing an icon is hard work! Why? Because you are about to f#ck around with a f#cking icon! (LOL) You’re about to totally get all up in the grille with folks who are emotionally attached to this icon! You either get it right or go the f#ck home! Hahaha.

Come around to the front of the car as this is where the evolutionary revolution begins. Zooming in on the grille, gone are the two massive circular fog lamps! Wow! But that bygone item is still alluded to in the division of the grille at the far left and right ends, where vertical slats partition the grille - right where the former fog lamps used to be. This right here is an absolutely fantastic design idea.

He places the circular fog lamp right within the far left and right partitions of the grille - just where the previous design had the foglamps positioned and it looks great!

Infact, even more than the grille, this is what I might have been attracted to first. The new headlamp design is longer and has a more menacing and ferocious design language. This is aided primarily by the three shark gills-like LEDS in the headlamp housing. Moving further down on the front fascia, is a big air dam which appears to be an extension of the upper grille, as the bars on the far left and right side of the grille extend down into the lower air dam. This has the effect of invisibly joining the upper grille and the lower air dam into essentially a "one big grille" look, giving it that "big-grille effect. That in turn translates to the visuals of high-speed racing and fat horsepower! And that inturn imparts a heavily aggressive macho look! Well just say an ultra-aggressive super shark predator look. Sounds better? Lastly on this same lower area of the front fascia, to the left and right of the air dam are newer placements for the previous foglamps. I like the "double layering" of lighting devices here - the LED turn signals and the foglamps almost appeared to be stuffed into a small space. It lends visual interest to the area.

The evidence is in the slope of the roof, the raked angle of the windshield, the chiseled horizontal incisions into the body panels, and the racing stance - well ofcourse! This design story told on the side of the car is fitting, uniquely innovative, and just right. It's perfectly retro-futuristic. Some hardcore (but unreasonable) Mustang fans want the rear passenger-side vents back too. But then how are the rear passengers going to be able to see out the window? I mean you can't have everything! Gotdamnit! The goal of the designers who are redesigning an automotive icon isn't to make the new Mustang look exactly like the old damn Mustang, but rather a clever integration of old and new (shakes head at these dimwits). Now just look at the damn beauty below! Just look at it!</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However, this automotive kid - who I also mentioned earlier, created a great customiza-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">tion concept that includes those vents and it looks really cool. That's what customization is for, though, to personalize the car the way you like! To your individual tastes! Key word being individual! (Hahaha). Now, moving back to the side-view design discussion, I love how the lower rocker panels are color differentiated and highly stylistic. They add a very pretty flair to the car. All together, as it wraps from front to back, it puts a final finishing touch on the overall design language of the car. Also, not out of reach of my attention on the side of the car, are the mirrors. I'm in admiration of how the mirror supports are of a different color than the mirror itself. This effect gives the entire mirror ensemble a beautiful flower-esque character. It's as if the mirror is a flower that blossomed and the support is the stem. Now, lastly, and to retouch on a design feature that I brought up earlier: the roofline. It has that eager sloping, rushing, visual. And I enjoy how it races to the back of the car simultaneously inducing the animation of that perfect wind tunnel test.</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Finally, lets swivel around to the rear of the Mustang. Over here is pure design excitement and leading it off is the all-new taillamp design. In the R&B crooning voice of Chris Brown, these lights are "on and poppin" in a major way! The design is highly individualized, making their impact pronounced and distinctive. It is the perfect upgrade of the 1968 Mustang's taillamp design. It is splendid, beautiful, just marvelous! It one-handedly defines the entire rear of the car.</span></b><br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Also moving a little bit up from the taillamps is what I call a double spoiler system. First the body metal here, is fasioned into a little spoiler imitator lip, and then on top of that is an actual spoiler! The first imitator spoiler (below) creates a nice shadow over the taillamps which gives them an enhanced 3D effect. It's almost like a vinnette behind a great rendering. (Car design or design folks yall know what I'm talking about!) </span></b><br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Now finally, here comes the other part of the beauty of the rear end of the Mustang! Move your eyes down below the license plate area. Checkout the air diffusers and the middle piece in between them! Woah! Is this not a tasty design treat from the Ferrari Italia 458?! Huh! Yeah mon! This is the Ferrari 458 right here baby!! The resemblance is quite obvious, and it's a sensual one too. I minor allegiance to the female honey pot - which is more majorly described in the Ferrari 458 Italia rear end. And here, it's a most gorgeous sensually-splitting design. It is almost a steel fabrication of her lower biology. It makes me feel a little tingly in my nether regions. (Damn, sorry folks LOL). But refer to the third picture and then follow up

The interior of the new Mustang is a whole ‘nother level intelligent design and highly perfected beauty. It is </span><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">simply gorgeous, but then again un-simply, purposefully and intently engaging.

It has a very "big-truck" demeanor to it. This I believe, is due to the shape of the center console. It has the same lines are used in the latest F-150, but rather than having the center console shaped along those lines, in the truck it is instead, a border line within the center console. Additionally, the design of the AC/heat vents are also similar to those in the F-150. But in the Mustang, they are a bit more interesting, and even bear a resemblance to the lower portion of the Iron Man helmet's design.</span></b><br />

It is carefully of the past, living in the present, and driving in the future. After initially becoming a bit hesitant when seeing the first pictures of the newly redesigned Mustang, some of which were badly fore-shortened or exaggerated fish-eye views taken by cameras of pictures in magazines, I gradually but quickly came to accept it and fall in love with the new design. It is sexy, fierce, and glorious! And I know I’ll be even more astounded when I see it live in the flesh at the 2014 Chicago International Auto Show! Kudos to the Ford designers on a job well done my friends! The grade of this car is A+!</span></b></div>

Well, my answer is yes they did, almost! Very vey close! The New Chevrolet Impala is beautiful and amazing to look at. It is neatly and luxuriously styled, and had been begging for this for a very long time. Infact, what annoys me, is why in the hell, did they take so long? Huh Chevy? Y'all get on my nerves with that crap, of just let boring-a$$ cars go forever without a change-up! I mean who wears clothes for days on end without changing it? Damn! (LOL)</div>

Anyway, lets cut to the chase. Chevrolet made a massive turn around with the new Impala. It looks hip, (and in more ways than one, wink), big, bold, and classy. It's a fresh glass of wine on the Chevrolet sedans dining table. I hear the clinking of glasses and a loud "Cheers"! "Yezzir"! Yes indeed! The new Chevy Impala has a radically different front fascia. Gone is that boring, blah-zay piece-of-sh^t design that formerly existed. Good riddance. (Clicks fingers and does a little dance). What's here now is a totally and highly recognizable departure from yesteryear. It is sexy, catchy and attractive. It's screaming Chris Brown's lines, "look at me now look at me now"!<br />
<br />
The front of the car is just splendid. The part that immediately jumps out at you is the design of the lower front fascia. They protrude outward and catch a lot of light, which in and of itself draws the attention in the first place. They also have the resemblance of small wings spread out. This attractive design also brings out the huge-ness element of the grill. Now first let me elaborate on why I say huge-ness in regards to the grille. I say hugeness because the grille, though divided into two portions has kept its slatted structure right through to the bottom of the fascia. Therefore, it appears continuous. And being very wide as it is already, the "continuous" factor of it as it continues below the bumper bar, makes it look huge! It has an impact! A huge grille always adds aggression to a car, as it is represents massive air intake, and massive air intake is representative of massive horsepower and hence the possibility of massive engine power. Now moving upward and outward from the grille area is a descriptive, sculptured, and pronounced surfacing of the metal that rests right below the headlamps. This is one of the most definitive things about the Impala's front end. It highlights the new headlamp design and makes it speak proudly. The design of the foglamps below it, also play their part.<br />

Now lets talk about the side of the car. This area of the vehicle is also extremely attractive - <br />
stemming majorly from the lovely addition of hips! Yes man, the new Impala got hips! In my Missy Elliott voice, "big hips on ya!" This feature, this sensuous rump in the quarter panel, gives the side of the car all the life in the world! And again, it is another totally radical departure from the old Impala. And now, I'm thinking what's so hard in being fresh and innovative with design. Gosh! Why did it have to take Chevy so long to kick their designers in the a$$! I mean a really hard kick too! You know, like how you kick that soccer ball into the goal, or how the footballer kicks that ball! (LOL). Now moving past those sexy hips is the lengthy precision-chiseled crease into the metal that runs from the rear door handle into the front quarter panel before seamlessly blending the metal besides the headlamp. This feature adds extra oomph to the design language speaking on the side of the car. And as to say, "We aint finish talking yet", there is a huge light-catcher below that reflects a full handful of light, bringing the attention of your eyes to the lower body of the car. And to put the nail in the coffin, a chrome strip is even added to this! Can you feel the impact? Hey designer, I love you for this!!<br />

Ok, now 'round to the back of the car. Now over here is the reason why I state in the title and say in the first sentence of the blog, that the designers almost got it right. I'm not too enthused with the taillight set-up with that chrome strip between them. It reminds me of the rear of the Chevrolet Cruze (a simpleton car). All it is just a chrome strip conformed to the curvature of the area where it resides. It would look better maybe without the chrome strip and then put some more design innovation into the taillights or maybe redesign the chrome strip period. (Scroll to the bottom of the blog to see my sketch that includes the combination of both options). Now, that aside, the rest of the rear fascia looks fantastic! And this lies in the stance, and the way the upper fascia gently and sensuously curves into a sloping descent into the bumper. Also, right around the sides of the rear is a light catcher that adds extra definition to the rear of the car (a continuation of the one at the side of the vehicle). Moving back to the rear-most part of the vehicle, and lower down, is the neat, tight, and beautiful integration of the chrome-tipped exhaust pipes into the extreme lower fascia. And finally, in the last discussion of the rear of the Impala, lets move up to the trunk lid, which is essentially a stylishly and perfectly integrated spoiler - just beautiful! Moving up from here, are the well-thought out trunk parting lines. These swoop into a bourgeois-ly raked rear window. This is that luxury signature! That hatchback effect that has been re-innovated for sedans nowadays. And it's gorgeous! Just look at it! The new Chevrolet Impala is a BAWSE! (In my Rick Ross voice).<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Well you know how they say that the best things take time to happen? Right? "Yezzir", it takes time and patience to get it just right. Well, that wait is now over, the long awaited re-designed Cadillac Escalade is finally here. To state it simply, and in my Wocka Flocka voice, "round of applause"!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Cadillac Escalade is America’s most beautiful and unique-est SUV ever. It can hold it’s own against any import. Parked besides any Range Rover or Mercedes SUV, it looks right at home, if not even better! The beauty of the Cadillac Escalade is one that can’t be just recognized but must be observed - close up. It’s in the details! There is a reason for the beauty. This I have described in previous blogs, which you can read at the following links. I will re-state a few of those points as I compare the previous Escalade with the all-new carefully and intelligently remodeled Escalade. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carefully observe the pictures below - the winning looks of the automotive Play Boy SUV! We'll show you how the designers re-styled it within reasonable but innovative limits!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15;">Due to the winning looks of the Cadillac Escalade, and it’s hordes of lovers, the designers knew that they must tread carefully when re-designing the vehicle. It’s almost like they had to walk on eggs! And they must have thought about this egg-walk (lol) for a while too (haha), as this is the first-in-a-long-while re-design of the iconic Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade was a pretty boy of flawless looks and addicitve sex appeal. The object was to update the design, and keep and/or increase that sex appeal while keeping as much of those tiny, but unique details that make the Escalade pop. You know, the effort to re-design or modify the aesthetic without pushing away Escalade lovers, “the struggle is real”. But Cadillac made it! They got it right! The new Cadillac Escalade is marvelous! And I'm about to show you just why.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lets begin at the front of the SUV. The front end now looks more serious, it still has that sexy smile, but it’s a more serious face with the same smile. This serious-ness aspect is a result of a new truck-ish re-styling of the front end. The headlamp area is set down, or is at a lower height than the hood. So in essence the center of the front fascia, or the grille area, is on a higher level, and thus is given more prominence, and that equals an appearance of more aggression - more macho! Also, look closely at the grille. The design is slightly different. It has three slots compared to the previous two, and the slats are thicker and deeper as well, giving the new grille a more biting look! Yeah man! Bite that air, eat it and fuel that horsepower! The lower front fascia was also re-innovated with a new shape that produces L-shaped foglamps. This is a perfect touch! It compliments the new headlamp shapes just right. Also checkout how the headlamps reveal a vertically stacked set of bulbs. This causes the headlamps to look taller as well, and it even brings out the grille too because the horizontal slats of the grille seem to invisibly extend into it. Going even lower on the fascia is also another re-styling, which is similar to that seen on the new Cadillac coupes, particularly, the Cadillac CTS coupe</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Now moving onto the side view, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">there is a continuation of the impressive front end design set up. It is extruded horizontally through the entire SUV - front to rear. The Escalade is now visually comprised of three pieces: the center body, and the two left and right side protruding areas. Also, another little change up on the side, that Cadillac did, was to include all the side windows on the same level as the front windshield. In the previous Escalade model, the windshield extended to a lower level than than the rest of the windows. With the new design, the entire wholesome effect is a smooth-sailing horizontal flow. There are no broken visuals. The truck looks like it is ready to take off! Also, I love how the designers kept the wheel arcs exactly the same - to the “T”! The wheel arc design of the Cadillac escalade is a precisely unique one, and has played a big part in the look of the SUV. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15;">Moving on to the rear of this lovely SUV, the first bold, and striking thing are the tailights. I absolutely just love it. It is ofcourse a carryover from the Cadillac wagon - and a nice one indeed. This taillight design dramatically and perfectly wraps up the new, improved, bold, braggadicious, and massive bling look of the Cadillac Escalade. Cadillac, YOW! kudos to the designer on his slam-dunk basketball game!! Salute!!</span><br />

A Dodge Magnum Wagon or a Dodge Charger Wagon!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a_qd1NdEky8/Udx0I3h9N8I/AAAAAAAACNg/m531AQEw2ak/s1600/Charger+Wagon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a_qd1NdEky8/Udx0I3h9N8I/AAAAAAAACNg/m531AQEw2ak/s400/Charger+Wagon.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Woah! Dodge!? Are you gonna do it again! Are you gonna set the automotive world on fire again! Yes you are! Ralph Giles are you listening? (Cups hand over ear). Man this Dodge Charger wagon is so expletive beautiful. Lord have mercy! It is in every aspect, a splendid integration of a wagon body and the Dodge Charger sedan. It's super sexy! It is such a delectable, sensuous, deliciousness all wrapped up in a red that rivals that of any Ferrari that I've ever seen. I always thought that Ferrari had a lock on a sexy red pain, but this Charger wagon takes the cake. This wagon is a testimonial to Dodge style and design and the possible innovation within that realm that is capable of being achieved.<br />
<br />
The first thing that leapt to my eyesight was that gorgeous little lip, or that protrusion of the lower front fascia. It has the effect of appearing to be of aid in scooping air into the massive grille. And that in turn, adds a look of massive horsepower and speed. Right above that is beautifully buxom hood, with a nice curved arcing-ness that makes me think of the Ford Mustang. Following right above this is the perfectly-raked windshield that rips into a nice swooping roofline. <br />
<br />
Moving on to the side of the car, which is a premium attraction here, is dashing sports car-type ground effects on the lower body panels. And then perfectly complementing that above this, is a long, swift, and giant two-pronged crease into the metal. The upper prong of the crease melts into a gently almost invisible but thick hip over the rear wheels ("see ma hips big hips on ya" - Missy Elliot hahaha). It's almost invisible because it's so gentle the way it is infused into the design. But to someone who admires sexy women , my eyes refuses to miss stuff like that! It's a nice sexy rump of a rear quarter panel. (Damn I love the way I just worded that!) Now this shaped "hip" over the rear wheels produces a beautifully almost wind swept curvature out of the rear passenger window. This inturn stops dead at a thick c-pillar. That c-pillar is raked at a most perfect angle.<br />
<br />
Now from the c-pillar, the remainder of the body travels down in a very slight curvature and meets the rear bumper, which is also raked at an angle. Can you see how that bumper just totally beautifies the rear of this car?! OWW! I live for little things like this! The bumper is raked at an angle exactly sympathetic to the c-pillar. It's these carefully calibrated design techniques that make car designers the most unique-est people in the whole world, and members of the most esteemed fashion design clique on Earth!<br />
<br />
Lastly, the wheels on this ride are also stellar. That spinning chrome, regardless of what the individual spokes at a still might look like (lol) is almost one half of the life of this car!<br />
<br />
Ok, now take a look at the wonderful design analysis below. and then read the article again, referring to the picture back and forth. Do it over and over again...back and forth, back and forth, back and forth (hahaha).<br />

Will They? Should they?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oM5AcWpYxvQ/UZj-v_UmQ0I/AAAAAAAACIk/2S0ZZCcDO8E/s1600/943636_10151433819192473_1355727894_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oM5AcWpYxvQ/UZj-v_UmQ0I/AAAAAAAACIk/2S0ZZCcDO8E/s400/943636_10151433819192473_1355727894_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Why was the Dodge Magnum ever discontinued? Or why has it taken such a long time to introduce a new model? Huh Dodge? The Dodge Magnum is the best station wagon ever designed in the history of station wagons! It was one heck of a beautiful car with its low-slung sporty roofline, large wheels, bold wheel fenders, big smiling grille, and the high gangsta beltline. It was sexy, masculine, bad-ass-lookin', and full of braggadocio! It was brash, and urban, and hip. It looked like metal sculpted out of loud music! It was just soo good-looking!. I still turn my head when I see one on the road, or stop to snap a picture (for the SeraniTafari Street Team ofcourse) when I'm walking pass one on the streets.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, though, by the publishing of this render, by Allpar, that this means there's something in the works for a brand new Dodge Magnum. In the rendering, I love the styling that I'm witnessing. The body panels have cleverly placed protruding sculpted forms that embolden the look of the car. I also love the rear spoiler; it has a unique non-categorical look. It's a very ergonomic look that's suitable for ones hand to hold it and lift the car (at least from the rear). I'm also in love with the styling of the taillights. It has a luxurious style that reminds me of a Bentley Infact, this is the first part of the car that caught my eyes: the taillights. They sort of standout! And upon doing some research, it looks like the Bentley Mulsanne might have had an influence on this new Dodge Magnum design.<br />
<br />
Observe the design/analysis below.<br />

Now in regards to the styling glory of the Dodge Magnum - both old and new - only the Mercedes Shooting Brake comes close. Close but not close. Take a look below and compare the swag levels. </div>

Nice bodywork, but the rear profile comes to much towards a point. That little thing alone makes me think of a geriatric frown! (lol)<br />

This is another nice view<br />
<br />
Now, do you observe how for each view of the Mercedes Shooting Brake, I gave a different critique? The Mercedes Shooting Brake isn't hot from every angle. With different angles of photography, there's something nice, more nice, or less nice about it. Compare that type of analysis to the Dodge Magnum wagon. That station wagon (and I thoroughly regret using that term) is hot from every single angle. There's nothing better than a car that's perfecto in design when looked at from every possible angle. Kudos to Dodge!<br />

Perfect body height or "thickness" all throughout the length of the car. Contrast that with the side view of the Mercedes Shooting Brake above. Can you see the differences?<br />

<br />
Now some may say how can I compare a Mercedes to a Dodge. My answer is, "I just did"! Styling is always up for commentary. Brand is the awareness of an association of something great about something. For example, Mercedes is known for great car design (and maybe engineering), but if Mercedes messes up and designs an ugly car compared to what fans or customers of Mercedes are aware of then so be it! A design is a design. It can be ugly or it can be nice. And there in lies the possibility to exist for an automobile of a high caliber of design and engineering to look worse than an automobile in lower brand category - just because of a design execution. Understood?<br />

And just like the BET 106 & Park performer, and Best Female Vocalist Chicago Awards Winner, and Chicago Pop Princess, Demi Lobo says, "You should take my picture"! That's what these superhot big-rim customized cars would say if only they could talk. And the craze has traveled all the way to Japan now! What is it about cars on oversized wheels? For awhile, I've been watching the takeover of the automotive customization scene with cars on big rims: 26s, 30s, 32s etc.! Now, I've always found myself crazily admiring these glamorous, playful and extraordinary automotive customizations. They bring a huge ear-to-ear grin to my face and in the moment of the induced giddyness, I'm always wondering to myself, "What is so visually pleasurable about the look of these cars? Why do they make me smile so much?" I think I've finally pinpointed what I believe it is though. Call it pinterest (hahaha). But, what I think it is, is that these big rim customized automobiles resemble giant toy cars, and now combine that with the fact that I'm a guy, and a boy at heart, and boys love cars! To explain more, the excitement that these cars generate, for me, is that they resemble toys in a different sense - even in a different world. It's like these toy cars spilled out of our rooms, magically mushroomed in size, and went "a rolling down the road". And they look so pretty, and immensely attractive, and visually addictive!<br />
<br />
Now, some owners or customizers overdo the big-rim thing though. A few of these overdone customizations look stupid-retarded. For example, a car or SUV that looks like a monster truck just looks totally out of proportion and is just plain out damn ridiculous. Please, y,all need to stop that sh#t for real! Ya heard? (cups hand over ear).<br />
<br />
For the most part, though, the majority of the big-rim automotive customizations that I've seen, are gorgeous. They look declicious, exciting, sexy, and just oh-so-lovable. They just really appear so brimming-with-automotive excitement, and toyish and push-around-able. Looking at them from the window, when I see them driving down the street, they just look so attractive, like rolling automotive jewelry. And they look like cool giant toys. Now, enter a different world for a moment. I can see giant baby boys just pushing these cars around in a giant wonderland home. Every time I see these cars I just imagine myself as a giant kid pushing them around like toys. They are indeed street toys! And they are sexy!<br />

Ok, now, drooling over with, let's get to a brief history of the "big rim craze"! First of all, the popular name for the big wheels that these cars ride on is "donks"! Donk is an urban/hip-hop/African American term that originally referred to the vivacious, and sometimes large curvature of the derriere of - well mostly African American females. And I made it quite easy for you to witness below (hahaha). What all the automotive donks have in common is that they are eye-catching, rubber-necking-inducing bling-a-liscious-ness! And well, there really isn't too much difference to the feminine posterior of its equivalence - and I swear I can almost always be caught looking at them both!<br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: left;">Now, according an article on the trend, published in the Philadelphia Weekly in 2008, the beginnings of the donk automotive lifestyle began in Miami in the mid 1990's. It was what they call, poor city guys, driving cheap readily available cars, especially large, old-age cars, like Chevrolet Impalas and Chevrolet Caprices. What the owners of these cars did was jack up their cars to nearly four feet in the air and put a set of giant wheels on them.What resulted was "donk"! According to one person, "these cars were pieces of crap, but they looked fantastic. They shut the place down. Everybody went crazy". </span><br />

The article goes on to state that Donk became the first underground<br />
automotive craze of the information age. Many folks began surfing Craigslist for pick-up truck suspensions to purchase. Pretty soon you'd be seeing cars sitting as high as trucks. Infact, some were so high, that they flipped over. According to one person interviewed in this article, "it doesn't sound like something that you could get respect for".<br />
<br />
However, that perception was soon to change. And it was a change that took place over the internet. According to the article, the practice of jacking up cars as high as possible were ditched for a more toned-down or classy look. The paint jobs ceased to be loud and garish and instead transitioned into being more low-key and/or factory-correct. The entire car was now dropped from a mile high in the air (gosh!) to more close to the ground. In other words, these cars were "slammed". And I soo love that terminology, it's so deliciously picturesque - a gorgeous piece of automotive vocabulary!<br />
So to continue on that tangent, "slammage" became the new order of<br />
the day.<br />

This slammed automotive style involves eliminating huge amounts of metal off the wheel fenders through a process called shaving. This would make room for the donks or big wheels. According to what I see on the internet via Facebook, everyone is all about this now. "Major League" slammage is the biggest thing taking place, from the north to the south, from the east to the west. The big rims have even been seen floating across the seas (hahaha), as the style is now moving international to places like Japan! And according to the images that I've see, the Japanese have done some really splendid donk customizations!<br />
<br />
Now in a departure from past depictions, or characterizations of the donk or big rim style as ghetto and hood crap, you know have folks saying, in regards to having their vehicles donked out, that "I want something unique, but not too crazy. I want it to be classy." Gotta love it! (Hahaha)! Furthermore, and according to the article, donks became domesticated, or more mainstream, when corporations sat up and took notice.They were like, "holy crap! There's an army of<br />
backyard mechanics making money off this craze. Lets jump into this!" One early example is Toyo, a Japanese company that began to manufacture skinny "rubber band" tires which enabled big rims to fit on the car without it having to be jacked-up. Next to jump into the scene was Dodge, with its most magnificent Dodge Magnum wagon (the best<br />

station wagon ever made, ever)! The Dodge Magnum had huge wheel wells that enabled it to fit large 24-in.rims. Now, with this corporate attention on the donk scene, suspension manufacturers, paint companies, and audio companies like Sony, began to angle themselves for some of that "ba-donk-a-donk-donk" money! Now, as I alluded to previously, and in no uncertain terms, and as stated in the article, Peter Mac Gilliuray, a spokesman for SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association), "in the beginning, the donk was this underground thing that most people didn't take seriously. It's seriously grown into a major market presence in its own right. Wow! Imagine that though! Right? Irregardless, though, you still have a couple automotive publications, like, Jalopnik, for example, that publish false stories on the Donk customization craze. What they do is show some of the worst automotive customizations as a representation for the Donk genre and then call it ugly. But, hey money talks! Lots of money is being made with this so-called ugly donk customization craze. Truth is, this is the greatest automotive customization genre ever to hit the automotive world. And it's here to stay. Those automotive bloggers are lost in a sea of immense love for the Donk (wipes eye with tissue after shedding a tear for them). Alot of the auto shops that take part in churning out these gorgeous, hyper sexy, orgasmic automotive creations, take great pride in their work, and produce some immensely attractive hyper-drooling-inducing big rim customizations. Infact, some of them are so sexy that I'd rather go an a date with the car than a girl! I'm just saying yall! (LOL)<br />

Now yall take a look at some ugly, ghetto garbage donks<br />

What a masterpiece this is! It's like a moving painting! Now notice how the car is on big rims just like the early mid-90s style, but instead of being jacked up looking like a jack-a$$ (hahaha), it sits low on the big rims. It's in essence slammed! For a moment, imagine that you had a huge gigantic hand with hyper-extraordinary powers and you reached up to a jacked up car and smacked it on the roof. In one swat you've slammed it to a normal ride height. Let me say this word one more time. Slammed. Slammage. Oh my God, I just love it. I just love the way it sounds. It sounds so good. It's such beautiful slang. It's slang-a-liscious (wow I just made a new word)!<br />
<br />
Now when I started off this blog, I posted a link to the following song below. I've posted it again, because every well crafted donked car that rolls out of an auto customization shop needs to be blasting this track, because those bling-a-liscious whips are indeed worth a thousand pictures! And they are screaming for it to be taken!<br />

Checkout the light glaring in the distance (on the driver's side)! Gotta love it! It adds a movie texture to the picture. And then look at the driver, he looks as if as he is about to floor the pedal. The passenger leaning out the window adds a nice touch too. Lastly, the reflection of the wheel on the ground, is the life of this whole picture! This picture was shot "like a BAWSE" (in my Rick Ross voice)</div>

This '96 Chevy Caprice above is a lil bit special. It wasn't done by a shop, except for the paint, and the interior design. Other than that, it was (like Mary J. Blige, say), a "Family Affair". The owner, Brian Trowell, his Dad, and brother, tricked out this whip! Kudos to them on this one! The flat-faced rims are on point.That rear wheel with the big sexy lip screams SWAGGGG!</div>

Now observe this picture carefully. Check out the Range Rover parked besides the Chevy Caprice. The Rover should own that show, but rather, it's the Chevy! Can you feel its presence!!?? (Bubble trouble!) The steely white glaring lights? The blue UFO (lol) hovering over the dashboard!? This is such a 'You-should-"Take-my-Picture"'-car!</div>

Now a recent surprising find by me is that there are automotive customization lovers who are women too. The big-rim car craze is now seeing an influx of the female species. And judging from the pictures below, they are coming as hard as the men - if not harder! I really appreciate the fact that there are females who love the automotive customization scene as much as we guys do. It's amazing! Below are a few of the hottest customized rides in the game - by females! And as this month of March is National Women's Month - time to recognize!<br />

Now watch this movie trailer for a soon-to-come movie that will highlight the donk and big-rim automotive customization craze! Yessir!<br />

Now, heads up y'all! There is a little skirmish going on about the "donk" name. According to the article I'm referencing, a veteran states that, "They call their cars all kinds of names - boxes, bubbles, Monties, Cutties - based on different makes and and shapes, but the most widely accepted term is “donk.”.
<br />
Now lets intelligently set some things straight here. Yes, the official Donk is is a '71-76 Caprice ad/or Impala, and here's the reason why: these cars were the first to be jacked up on big rims and given the name "Donk" as a result! But, now lets apply some logic, by extension. Everyone else who does not have a '71-'76 Caprice and/or Impala, but have put big rims on their vehicle can call their ride "donked out"! And doing so isn't taking away from the official donk vehicle, but rather, it's extending an ode to them, and some respect. Now let me say this, hereby, there exists, a donk, and a "donked out"! Bam! case closed! </div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
And now, to all the writers at Jalopnik or the Auto Blog, or whereever, who have mocked the "donk" and "donked out" automotive customization lifestyle, I hope you've read this article which so gloriously describes the donk culture. You all are some retarded haters, and you can jump off the Grand Canyon and land on your head. :)
<br />
"Oh my God! Please! Somebody! Please send a rescue helicopter! (Helicopter arrives) Hurry! Send down the rope. I think we can save them! Oh no! They're' dead! (In my Wocka Flocka voice, "Round of applause")<br />

Part 1 (A Narrated Video)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Lincoln has started anew and with a shower of firecrackers! A new American luxury company has been birthed; it is the Lincoln Motor Company. Just say it, The Lincoln Motor Company. I love the sound of those words, it rings to a nice tone in my ears and has a soothing and luxurious connotation. The folks at the design studio definitely know what they are doing, and I am simply amazed at their first effort to turn the company around.<br />
<br />
These videos below represent part one of the design analysis of the Lincoln MKZ. There will be a part two in the form of a highly pictorial follow up. It will be headlined by the track of an amazingly stunning, beautiful, and talented artist! So stay tuned! In the meantime, listen and watch carefully, and enjoy the video.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For a while I've been grappling with whether or not I liked the new Range Rover. Let me just simply say this: sometimes pictures alone cannot render justice. Sometimes it takes a real life experience to really make a decision. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well I think reality is worth a million! On that note, I've finally changed my attitude towards the new Range Rover. Previously, I disliked it alot, primarily due to the new headlamps and taillights. I thought they resembled that of the Ford Explorer - they do but at the same time they don't, if you can understand it those terms. So while I was attending the Chicago Auto Show, and during the time that I decided to explore my ambiguity of my feelings for the design language of the new Range Rover, I decided to just shoot a commentary video on the spot - live and direct. To describe this video, it's almost as if I'm in a studio, experimenting with ideas for a track. Here, I'm kind of like feeling out my likes and dislikes as the reality of the designs stand before me in real life - not to say I didn't also have prior likes and/or dislikes. Now, in addition to the video below, I will also be doing a follow-up blog showing a pictorial representation of what I am describing in the video, in regards to my admiration for the particular design "stories" being told on the Range Rovers.</div>

OMG! I'm having a drooling moment! Just look and absorb the beauty of this splendid customized ride. If this car could only be scaled down to a look-alike RC model car version, could it not be a good companion for a barbie doll set?! "Yezzir" ! (in my Lil Wayne voice)! And that would be a great way to bring more girls into the car-loving realm that boys dominate too - not a bad idea? Right, my automotive marketing folks? (hahaha).<br />
I'm just so in love with this Chrysler! The rich, super hot, ferocious girly pink, gosh, it's simply delicious! And with the fat 30" wheels, it's just screaming, "I'm sooo damn sexy! Come take me out!" The girl besides the car is a fine breed herself, she's looking as fabulous as the car itself. Her caramel complexion coincidentally falls within the warm temperature and complimentary color range of the car's pink. She is automotive-ly fine, and full of "treble" and "bass", and with an easy pretty smile! In addition, she is perfectly dressed too - automotive-ly fashionable - with her hot pink mini-skirt matching the cars terrific pink paint job. Her top is also just as gorgeous, with its particular design-fit aiding a thorough amplification of her buxom-ness, and with the sunny pink and floral patterns alluding to the greenhouse, which is bathed in sunlight. Pausing to look at the skirt again (I can't stop looking), is the perfect leg display, as her pose, with that thick thigh piece, is in the same league as the car's rear c-pillar!<br />
All in all, the car and the girl represents one of the main things that the SeraniTafari Street team is about: the analogy of beautiful car design as per on par with beautiful female "design".What you have here is steel and flesh beauty and fashion. A sexy car and a sexy female are one and the same - same forces at play, if you know what I mean. <br />
<br />
Below is a link to the original picture of the car:

<br />
The owner of the car is Kelsey Johnson.
<br />
P.S.
Ain't no girl can match her as of yet! Infact, the only way for another girl to match this bad chick's swagger level, is to do a replica of her car - and that wouldn't be cool, because that would be just straight out copying (lol).
<br />
<br />
Now just sit bck and enjoy some more pictures of this car! Fall in love with this beautiful pink rose!<br />

Well I found this image on an automotive Facebook page while car surfing - my daily, time consuming habit. I clicked on the image, and saved it to my desktop for further inspection. Upon my subsequent inspection of zooming in and panning around on the image, I came to the conclusion that rather than a rendering, it is a Photoshop job. And that's because I realized that it has old rims as well as left over lower body pieces from a previous Chevy Monte Carlo model. However, irregardless of whatever Photoshop job this is, I am really digging it, it is quite unique! I love the huge grille cut into the lower front fascia - very truck-ish! I have never seen it like that on any Chevy models to date. It adds anelement of ultra aggression and massive horsepower, which by extension, is also visualized due to the huge bulge in the hood. And further adding to this is the racing stripes on top that enforce a visualization of speed!<br />
<br />
Furthermore, with this design of a new Chevrolet Monte Carlo, it seems that the artist combined the pre-2012 Dodge Charger body design with a Chevy Monte Carlo body. That was very clever! This Dodge Charger influence can be seen in the rear rump, the rear profile (including the spoiler), the roofline, as well as in the design of the greenhouse or windows area. The headlamps, with the rectangular prismic design, resembles that of the 1983-1986 model Monte Carlo - a car which was really cool looking - infact almost better looking than all the rest of the models that followed! Hate to say that GM, but that's just what it is! The rest of those Monte Carlo models were just bland, un-artistic garbage that is worthy of being riddled and pierced to pieces with bullets from a .50 caliber machine gun. I can just picture myself doing it too. You know, that gunners area on top of the army Hummve (hahaha) Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!<br />
<br />
Well anyway, let me give you a brief synopsis of the history of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo car. The Monte Carlo was developed by Chevy as a competitor for the Ford Thunderbird. It began its run in 1970 and continued for over 30 years later, until 2007. Below are pictures of the enitre model progression in resume-type chronological order. (Following this line-up is a highly detailed design analysis of some of the Monte Carlos).<br />

Look at this picture, it is just so ugly...well no fugly! It looks like "a fish outta water"!<br />
<br />
<br />
The other two Monte Carlos that I like are the very first 1st generation version (1970), and the 3rd generation 1983 -1988 version. That 1970 version looks dashing I like how the entire body looks like it is an animation of the sweeping sculpted effects on the sides. It looks lit just wants to take off. I can just hear the engine go "rag-a-ragga rag-a-ragga rag-a-ragga into floored-pedal oblivion!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The 1983-1986 model has that fast, dashing look to it as well. That aspect is gained primarily from the forward slant of the rear profile. It appears ready to tear off the pavement. When I was a kid, every weekend, especially on a Sunday, I used to see that car tearing down the street in front of my house at withering speed!<br />

Another Monte Carlo that I liked alot was the 95 production run. I remember first seeing it as a kid, as I was paging through a National Geographic magazine. The thing that I liked about this car was its overall swift aesthetic - this is achieved without a rear lean-forward profile). Everything looks like it is rushing towards the front headlamps. If you observe closely, that longitudinal line right below the door handles, is a principal player in this achievement. Infact, wait a minute, it is all about this, because if I visually subtract it with my eyes, the car appears less swift! Another thing that I liked about the car was the wheel arches. They werent the usual circular design, but rather kind of squarish - kind of SUV-ish. And in addition, they didn't hug the tires, there's a little bit of space between it and the tire itself. That design lends to a cruising-at-high-speed look.<br />

I found out about this female automotive enthusiast about a couple months ago, while adding innumerable heavily automotively inclined Facebook folks to my friend list. I think what attracted me to this person's Facebook profile "Whipology 101", was the name, as well as the logo. I was like, "Whipology? Hmmn? A lecture on whips (cars)? What new stuff about whips am I about to learn?" But anyway, through some back-end communication, I soon found out that the owner of the page was a female. And, I was a bit surprised because I have never known of any female car enthusiasts. The owner of Whipology 101, is Ashley Jones, and she's someone who hangs with the big bad fellas, guys who worship their rides while hanging out with loads of other guys while playing their car stereos loud, burning rubber, screeching the tires, flinging some curse words now and then, and maybe even getting into fights here and there. These are the car club gatherings aka the urban car shows where cars ride high on big rims that blare "bling bling". They are essentially huge candy shops where the cars are so deliciously customized that you are just left spazzed out! Yes! <br />
<br />
Well let's introduce Ashley Roberts, owner of Whipology 101.Com.<br />

<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: How did you come to love cars?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne:<br />
I grew up 'round my father who worked on cars and i just always loved cars.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Cool! What did you learn?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: A lot! That you have the power to change something that was made to be one way. In other words you can custom fit your car just for you!<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Oh ok great! What did you like about the cars? The exterior styling? The interior styling? How the car worked?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: All, I love the motor! It's the strength that takes you any were you want to go. Just like we all have a brain, and it can give us images, but if we never line it up with our feet we can make that dream a reality. And that's what a motor is to me!<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: I love the way you describe this! LOVE IT!<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Lol thanks.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Have you ever been to a car show? Like an official car show? For example, the North American International Auto Show? Or, the Detroit International Auto Show? If so, define a nice car in your point of view...for example when you see one that you like. Do you have an "OMG" moment?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: When I see a car that is off the scale (extremely beautiful in design), I get goose bumps. It's like I feel in love all over again. I have never been to an official car show, but it's in the future plans to attend a few. The thing that makes a car, to me, is the driver. If he takes pride in his car, then he or she has a nice car, LOL! But the true "OMG" moment is when i see a classic that has been restored, and it has the original color matched and the original interior, with some classic white wall tires. I like big rims but original never fails.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Wow!<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Why?<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Do you know about any female automotive designers? What do you believe a woman's attitude to cars is in general?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: A lot of women like the men that are driving the car, lol. But I don't know of any women designers yet, I hope to rub elbows with them soon. The car community is changing vastly, it has opened the door for a lot of women to hang with the big boys ( car clubs) and mark a territory in the community.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Are you a fashionista? Do you like to dress fashionably? What type of car do you own? Can you see your car as an extension of who you are and/or what you wear?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: I am a low-key type person. I can pull the cat out the bag sometimes. I have a lot of shoes and clothes that doesn't reflect what I drive. I currently drive a caddy (Cadillac). With the economy I want to go smaller, like 2013 Altima or Camry, something in that ave. (avenue - direction). But I think I can be a Fashionista at times :)<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: When you go to these urban car shows, what do you wear?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Black shoes and jeans. Bug spray and sun block lol. I don't go out to impress anyone, it is usually in a field with dirt and bugs, so I go comfy (comfortable) just in case something pops off. lmbo jk.<br />
lmbo<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: If you got to an official car show, what do you think you'd wear? Would you dress as if you were going on a date?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Idk,(I don't know) I would more than likely have several options to chose from, with 25 pair of shoes! No heels, that will be too much walking to do so in heels.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Even beyond the shoe types....like what wear, as in clothes? Evening dress? Jeans?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Old navy, vintage, dressy, casual, it varies with what I feel. Dress... I do a lot of sundress in the summer but I'm a must-have dress girl.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Do you read car magazines, such as Motor Trend or Car and Driver? What do you think when you see car magazines on a stand at a store (if you have ever seen them)?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: They are for people who do expensive mod's (modifications). They do not focus on the other spectrum of the car inddustry (blk PPL) but I like them, they are very informative, and they give you some thing to look forward to.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Do you know about Dub Magazine?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Yes<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: What do you think about Dub Magazine? It's more urban than the rest...?<br />
<br />
WhipoloOneoOne: Dub is a lot more urban...similar to Rides magazine.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: How would you rate most female drivers compared to men? Do you drive fast? Have you ever driven an SUV? What's the feel when you're driving one? Do you feel a bit of testosterone?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: You feel in control, I"ve had several tickets (paid them all). But I feel in control and that's a lot of steel to control!<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: This is the very last question, I forgot! Are you familiar with the word donk? Do you know the origin?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Yes, I think it's a 73-76 Chevrolet...can't remember, but every car is not a donk, lol.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: It's a style that began in Miami (in Florida), and it refers to the large rims. It is also a slang term derived from African American males describing the vivacious curves of African American females' derriere. Are you aware of that?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: No<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Wow! Really?<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: First time hearing that.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: I'll be doing an article on it for my blog soon...been working on it for a while.<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Ok, I can't wait to read it.<br />
<br />
Gebre Mesquitta: Thanks for answering my many questions.<br />
<br />
Whipology OneoOne: Ok thanks you're welcome<br />
<br />
Well for us at the SeraniTafari Street Team, this was a highly insightful interview, and we received new ammunition for integration with our perspective on car design. To deviate a little, I remember once, when I was back in college in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I had taken a girl that I had a crush on to an auto show, the Philadelphia International Auto Show. It was kind of like a date - maybe - but also, an introduction to my world of the ultimate in guy-dom: cars! Cars, cars, and more cars. Sexy, splendid, sensual metal sculpture that moved on wheels. Now, the girl I was with, had never been to an auto show before, and I was really excited to take her there. I couldn't wait to see what the effects of being surrounded by automotive "candyland" would invoke in a girl. I remember this high point, I brought her besides a gleaming chrome Subaru concept car and she became stricken - mouth agape and all! She almost passed out! BTW, no, she had a cargasm :D! That car got it in! (Hahahahaha)<br />

Instead of Malibu, As SEMA-bound Concept Gets Ready for the Streetz!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P18cHzGOqsg/UInzMM3cCwI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/SThzI8CAVsc/s1600/374133_10151496469642977_1107985952_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P18cHzGOqsg/UInzMM3cCwI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/SThzI8CAVsc/s400/374133_10151496469642977_1107985952_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I love this Chevrolet Malibu SEMA concept render! It is terrific! I really enjoy how the rear portion of the car sorts of leans into the front. The large wheels, in addition, prop up the bold, dashing looking, and are easy on the eyes with their eye-catching sexy, spicy design.<br />
The front of the car is beautiful as well, especially with the lovely body work going on in the lower fascia area.<br />
Let me start under the headlamps. Look closely at this particular location, here, the headlamp is recessed, or rather it is preceded by a lip (let me just use that automotive wheel terminology for a moment). This lip continues downward, slanting, and achieving a tapered or pointed form as it reaches the lower air intake. Juxtaposed right besides this is another "working" of the metal. You can recognize it by that shape -the first half of it - that nearly resembles a helicopter's tail section (refer to third picture below). Now talking about this overall design, it essentially "comes" off the hood bulge. It's apart of the package (refer to second picture below), so to speak. But what I like about it is how it sits right between the lower air intake and the grille above. It accents the grille and adds to the showing of a powerful design presence at the front of the car. Now, moving back up on the front area of the car, checkout the headlamps. First of all, they are not of a usual bland Chevrolet style to begin with. Second, the design of the inner housing is a bolder design than the exterior design, and it visually coincides with the exterior design of the headlamp, having the effect of looking as if it is apart of it, or is one piece. This is a beautiful effect of design trick-ology, that gives the entire headlamp a focused and eagle-like appearance. Lastly, moving all the way down on the front fascia - to the fog lamps - is a red inner outline, which matches the red disc brakes. It also complements the body of the car as well - the red against what appears to be a dark navy-ish blue. The color contrast is of of a perfect temperature!<br />

I'm at it again! Here I am again, talking about the new Ford Mustang. Well I spotted this new render of an alleged 2014 Ford Mustang on the Jalopnik automotive website. Immediately catching my eyes was the front fascia, which suprised me, because it apppears that some designer in the studio has become un-lazy, and has embarked on a new design direction. I've been seeing quite alot of these types of front fascias recently -<br />
due to my constant rummaging through Facebook car sketch pages, etc. - and I really love them. I like to call this particular type of design, metal folds, as it looks like the metal folds in in some areas and then comes back out somewhere else. It's quite a delicious design amusement. Looking further, I see the Ford Evos (concept) grille - or even the Ford Fusion grille - is still there, and nothing is wrong with that. However, I do think that it could be a tad bit taller.<br />
Furthermore, I don't know what the emblem on the grille is! First of all, it makes the grille look like a derivative of the Dodge crosshair grille, but instead, now it is a grille with a literal crosshair - if you know what I mean. Now, moving on to the side, here the body is a bit blah-zay, although I do admire the deep creased intrusion carved into the metal. I also like how it is given a "salute" with a lead-in crease that begins at the edge of the front headlamp. And, I enjoy how it appears to be going through the wheel fender and coming back out on the other side! In addition, I also see what appears to be a more noticeable rump in the rear wheel fender area. Infact, it is a very Pre-2012 Dodge Charger-esque rump! It is a splitting copy of it! To the detail! Just look at it as it jaggedly comes to an end above the driver's-side door lock! See, I knew I loved that beautiful crease that the previous Dodge Charger had cut into its rear quarter panel. Yeah! I knew it! And now look at it being copied (hahaha). I'm not mad at Ford for doing it, but rather, I'm mad at Dodge for not keeping that design feature in the newer Charger model! :(. Oh, and I forgot to mention, what the hell happened to the circular headlamps that rightfully have been a part of the Ford Mustang retro-futuristic design? This has to be included in any new redesign! Come on y'all! (screams)<br />

Here is a link to the article where I got this latest Mustang render from: <a href="http://jalopnik.com/5949026/the-20145-ford-mustang-everything-we-know?tag=ford-mustang">http://jalopnik.com/5949026/the-20145-ford-mustang-everything-we-know?tag=ford-mustang</a><br />
<br />
Also, in my design critique of the latest Ford Mustang render, I referred to the Dodge Charger quite a few times. You can checkout my previous article on the Dodge Charger's design at the following link: <a href="http://seranitafaristreetteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/2011-dodge-charger-vs-previous-dodge.html">http://seranitafaristreetteam.blogspot.com/2010/12/2011-dodge-charger-vs-previous-dodge.html</a><br />

Well, I have written quite a few Mustang blogs it seems. That's because the Mustang is just a nice damn car that contains a perfect blend of retro-futuristic styling. Today's Mustang blog is a little different however, it's about my slight dissatisfaction with the inspiration that they say will be infused into the next Mustang model, which according to sources will hit the market as a 2014 or 2015 model. The particular car, they say, of which the inspiration will be extracted from, is the 2011 Ford Evos concept. I have seen that concept floating all around the internet and I'm not to excited about it. I have channeled that frustration into a preliminary, and experimentation-sketch of my own musings for a new Ford Mustang concept. Now, let me say something, there is a fine line that a manufacture must straddle when updating or re-issuing an update of a retro car. The goal is to bring in today's hi-techy design aesthetic, and merge it with the iconic cues of the previous design. And here, the hoped-for result is for where you can see the blend of both styles, but still smell a defining whiff of the aroma of that yester-year design.<br />
<br />
Proceed to the observations made below...<br />

What do you see in pictures 1, and 2? In the first picture,1, the side view, though containing some nice sculpturistic lines, doesn't look "Mustang" enough in comparison to the second picture, 2. Therefore, what I have done below, is attempt to reinvigorate the real Mustang bloodline, while simultaneously upping the ante.</div>

If you look carefully above (observing the arrows), you can see two long curving lines that start out - with wide separation - by the front fender, and then in a swooping manner, converges at the rear wheel fender. Right here, a sumptious rump in the rear quarter panel is birthed, and gently dives down a bit over the rear wheel and then curves upward again, running into the tail lamps, which is followed tangentially by a spoiler profile. Also, checkout the lower arrows coming from the front wheel fender, and watch how it invisibly (I made it visible by highlighting it with red arrows) reaches into a sexy, near-derriere curvature into the lower part of the rear fascia (behind the rear wheel). See? You know me, I always try if possible, to put a little bit of the ladies into my automotive designs :)</div>

Ok. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the ride as we show you a ton of otherwise hot pictures of the Ford Evos concept, of which Ford will be drawing some of its inspiration for the new 2014/2015 Ford Mustang concept! You got your popcorn right? (lol)</div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gu7RnSN3uTY/UETSiEOqCHI/AAAAAAAABd4/KcGVDaM8EGU/s1600/Ford+Mustang.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gu7RnSN3uTY/UETSiEOqCHI/AAAAAAAABd4/KcGVDaM8EGU/s400/Ford+Mustang.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Man this Ford Mustang is just soo smoking hot on every level! I'm gonna begin at ground level first and then move on elsewhere. Now, here, as the car meets the pavement, are the huge spectacular wheels. They are extremely expressively aggressive, and essentially "shout-outs" the car. The wheels almost resemble a spider - one that has crawled out from a hole and is now just sitting on the perimeter - pondering its next move. The spider effect is achieved with the wheels because the spokes are not flush with the tire, but extend a little bit beyond it. Can you visualize the spider legs? Just think spider and look closely. "Oh no there's a spider on the screen! Run away!" (hahaha)<br />
Moving up from the rear tire is a rear vent that is emboldened by a large crease which extends from the top and bottom of the vent's shape and reaches all the way to the front wheel well, ending at its curvature, or well, being terminated by the curvature of the front wheel fender itself. It is a deep sculptured-like incision into the metal and gives of an ambiance of strength. For me it resembles the strained look of your arm when it is held at a right angle to the shoulder with the fist clenched at the end. Infact, do you visualize what I just said? You do it! Raise your arm 'til it makes a right angle with your shoulder and tightly clench your fist. There's two thin tendons that begin almost at the center of the fist and move outward into the arm, where it then fades away. Now, look closely at it and you'll see a space between the two tendons. Infact, take the index finger of your other hand and gently run it between them. You can feel it. Now, singing in my Carrie Underwood voice, "Do you see what I see"? Yes, right? And now, this is what I see expressed in the huge crease into the side of the Mustang.<br />

Ok, now lets move upward to the hood of the car. Here, there is this large and lovely bulge, I like to call this attribute bosom-ness or chest-ness (lol). Over here, the Mustang is well-appointed! And that big hood, you know, is full of umph! You know under there, that there's horsepower to kill! This is stated even more by the vents on opposing sides of the hood as well as the little smattering of an air scoop at the front of it. It shows that the engine housed below it, is one that is immensely powerful and is desperate to breathe.<br />
Moving on down from the hood is the huge main grille ofcourse, and which is framed on both sides by two large circular fog lamps. I love the effect of these circular lights too, as it resembles a Jeep aesthetic, one that has been implanted onto a car and imparts that same aura of toughness! Below the big grille is the thick luscious lower front fascia, or front bumper (envision the full lips of a beautiful female).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love the design language going on down here. First of all, you have the vertical bars that span the height of the lower intakes. These again, have a look of strength and nicely accentuates the front of the car. To the left and right sides of the front bumper are also deep intrusions into the metal, and above that is a chiseled "blend-in" into the huge expressive front wheel fenders! To top off everything, are the lovely racing stripes that run from her chest all the way down to her derriere. <br />
Now I leave you all, my readers with this: all Ford Mustangs should be made this beautiful, not different model variations with varying degrees of toughness - I hate that damn sh*t! Every mustang should look tough, and then customization should only make it look tougher! Do you get me Ford?<br />

While I was on Facebook yesterday morning, I saw a nice SUV concept from a designer and became inspired right on the spot. I grabbed a pen immediately, and began to dash out a quick sketch - I couldn't afford to lose the idea that was going through my mind. I rapidly began receiving visions of horizontal lightning, like leaping, bounding, horizontal lightning - dashing zig-zag-edly across a purplish blue night sky..I couldn't come up with a quick enough idea for the rear taillights though, as I had to get back to loads of work. But stay tuned to the Cartape Volumes for more blogs of more updates of this SUV concept! Leave a comment!<br />

Recently, I had the chance to meet Spencer Nugent, the man I dub "the sketch king" and who is the co-founder of www.idsketching.com and www.sketch-a-day.com. I couldn't miss that opportunity, I had to be there by any means necessary! So it was a nice Saturday afternoon, when I took myself down there and watched him do his magic at a sketch presentation at Columbia College. I was crazy impressed, especially with the way he applied photoshop work to the sketches. I was simply blown away. I call it the art of drawing with light, because in a deeper sense that is what rendering is. It's all about playing with light and darkness!<br />
Now, I was so into the magical vibes of the sketching that was going on that I ended up being induced into sketching this hot car. It came out better than I though it would, in light of the quickly rushed moments that I threw together to bang it out, while at the same time trying to not miss a beat of the sketch magic that Spencer Nugent was performing for the gathering of industrial design students and professional industrial designers. In regards to the automotive sketch, I think I was inspired by Bentley and Jaguar. Sometimes, inspiration comes to me along the way or after the fact (lol). I was quite happy with the finished product though, folks were peeping over my shoulder commenting on how hot my sketch was, which was a nice boost to my car sketching ego. I pretty much drew it just to impress those around me anyway (hahaha). I'm just an utter car enthusiast who loves cars to death, and nothing feels better than sketching cars to accolades (hahaha). However, I'm just really getting into the "game" though. I've been a baby here for a while, if you dig what I mean.<br />

Well this month, (especially this past Monday, Aug. 6th 2012) the island of Jamaica celebrates the 50th anniversary of its independence! Jamaica has contributed tremendously to world culture, from the internationally famous Reggae sound (of Bob Marley and the Wailers fame), to the often imitated patoi dialect, to sports - the nation owns the world's fastest man and woman! Of particular importance to me is Usain Bolt, who beautifully defended his title of "the world's fastest man in the 100m at the London Olympics. His time was clocked at an astonishing 9.63 seconds!<br />
Well in an ode to this insane speed of Usain Bolt, I decided to design the UB-876 sports car. UB stands for Usain Bolt and 876 stands for Jamaica's area code. In regards to the design of this car, I wanted it to look fast and mean - picture a Jamaican junkyard dog (lol)! On the hood and on the rear quarter panel I put small wings, a symbol to Usain's withering speed. Now in regards to the aggressive aspect of the car design, it is a hearken to the aggressive nature of Jamaicans, but even more so to the music. Reggae music, especially the roots reggae format -which is the most famous, has an aggressive fighting rhythm, so I tried to portray that. And that vibe extends to the huge wheels as well. Additionally, the wheel design itself is designed to represent bleeding, biting, clawing bass lines predominant in the music. The aggression also moves into the headlamps, where contrary to circular bulb housings, I have them triangular, representing teeth! Moving to the side panel of the car, I have a massive crease into the bodywork as well as a protrusion on the end of it that is shaped like a single sharp tooth. Below that is a lower body trim that symbolizes clawed "grippage" like that of a lion! The effect of that piece in particular is to represent the car being held from beneath by lion paws. Get the picture? (hahaha)<br />

I tweeted this car to Cedella Marley, Bob Marley's daughter, and to my suprise, she retweeted it! That was really nice of her! That was only part one however. There will be a part two of this Jamaica automotive concept, which will include three other views: a front view , a rear view and a rear three-quarter view. Also, there might be a Part 3 after that, which could include an interior sketch and render. The interior will have two designs, a his and her version, one for Shelly-Ann (she's the world's fastest woman) and one for Usain Bolt! There will also be a Shelly-Ann version of this car, it will be called the SP-876. The body of the car will stay the same except for a minor change ( a cute difference lol). So stay tuned to the SeraniTafari Street Team blog for the updates. Shell-Ann and Usain Bolt we love yall!!!!!!!!!!</div>

Summer in the city....Sweltering heat, crazy high humidity, and then the occasional thunderstorms. One thing is for sure, cars and bikes will be on display, shorts are coming out, and somewhere there is a barbeque going on. Luckily for me, I had the opportunity to host a local car show here in the city of brotherly love..Philadelphia. The show hosted by SeraniTafari Street Team featured a well stocked inventory of various vehicles. From the old to the new the cars were the stars here. Check out the photos below of this fun event. <br />

It was in 1994 when the first hot design for a RAM Truck made its debut - well at least I thought so. It was a design change from the previous models, and I was highly impressed. Back then, I was a little kid and dealing with an ever-increasing love for cars.<br />
Now how I came across the then new '94 Dodge Ram, was that I was reading a National Geographic magazine. My Dad was a big fan of National Geographic and always read their magazines. Infact, I think he had a subscription to them. I remember how I'd loved seeing them when they arrived in the mail - nice, neat, crisp, and glossy, and with the bright kids-lovable yellow border. (Damn I'm going into it about National Geographic magazines lol). But anyway, moving along, there was a large fold-out in the center of the magazine, and there it was: this large beautiful Ram Truck. I can just picture myself back in time on that day, pouring over the images; I was in love with that truck! What I enjoyed about the design was how the front fascia was "truck-anized" it bore a strong resemblance to the front end of big trucks (think Mack Trucks) and school buses. You know, that aesthetic where the headlamps are on a much lower level than the hood. This new appearance implanted on the Dodge Ram pickup was interesting to me. I saw aggression and a grown man-type of expression. You see, little bloys always dream of being grown-a$$ hardworking men like their Dads(hahaha)<br />
