Behind Design
If you're like me and appreciate great small cars, and particularly great small car design, there's a very interesting blog up and running that you should check out. It's populated by Simon Lamarre, a Canadian born designer working for Volvo design in Sweden, and it’s about Volvo's new small car, the C30.
The first time I saw the C30 show car I was immediately smitten by its muscular stance, nice proportions, and its nod to Volvo heritage while at the same time remaining completely modern. It carries forward the new corporate design language expertly; which seems to work as well in this small package as it does in the rest of the line.
Anyway, if you ever wanted to know how a single car is designed, from a designer’s perspective, check out Simon's blog: http://c30designerblog.blogspot.com/

Beautiful car. Have been tracking it ever since concept photos were unleashed on the net. There's a huge following for this car over on www.focaljet.com, my Ford Focus enthusiast website.
