Perhaps it\u2019s because we spend so much time inching along L.A.\u2019s vast network of freeways and there\u2019s not much to look at except all the other idlers in line.<\/p>\n<p>Car designers must revel in this opportunity to study, up close and on the road, virtually every kind of car ever built, but it isn\u2019t often we get to peek into the minds of those designers with the vision and talent to ignite serious automotive lust. During the week of October 21, 2014, however, two LaLa Land venues did just that. The first brought us and other choice elements of the car world onto the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank. Hollywood ambiance abounded as AutodesignO presented \u201cCars of Character,\u201d a classic Tinseltown soir\u00e9e that spotlighted big names in automotive design embellished with shiny platforms of design exotica graced by bevies of leggy models.<\/p>\n<p>Deja vu permeated the festivities. Cars were displayed on your typical neighborhood street\u2014except it was a movie lot and difficult to suppress the urge to whistle the theme to \u201cLeave It To Beaver.\u201d However, that sure wasn\u2019t June Cleaver folding her gams into that BMW i8. It was one of the fashionably dressed models who preened and posed with the likes of a Cadillac Elmiraj or a Hyundai Genesis Concept car during a photo shoot showcasing Charmaine Joie Couture, which, of course, was designed to enhance the lines and form of each vehicle.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/concept-14-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Hyundai Genesis Concept\r\n                <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/model-BMWi8-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                BMW i8\r\n                <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/their-ride-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Hyundai Genesis Concept\r\n                <\/div><\/figure>\n<p>If informed discussion was your thing, an A-Team of designers took to the stage of the Steven J. Ross Theater, itself a working prop, to shed some light on the secretive world of automotive design. Styling ideas and influences were traded by Laurenz Schaffer, President of BMW Group DesignworksUSA; Frank Saucedo, Director Advance Design, GM 5350, North Hollywood; Chris Chapman, Chief Designer, Hyundai Design Center, Irvine; and Derek Jenkins, Director of Design, Mazda North America, Irvine.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Noble, President of The CARLAB, moderated a discussion centered on the \u201ccharacter\u201d of car design. Using what could be described as a reverse Rorschach test, Noble threw out a phrase, photos of cars fitting the description appeared on the big screen, and panel members were asked to elaborate.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, what makes a car \u201ccute\u201d? Their responses centered on face-type elements\u2014headlights and grilles\u2014and how scale and proportion factor into that appearance. Display images included the original Mini, the Citro\u00ebn 2CV, the Fiat 500 \u201cTopolino,\u201d as well as the Smart ForTwo and Mazda MX-5\/Miata.<\/p>\n<p>It was pointed out that several of the cars deemed \u201ccute\u201d by today\u2019s standards\u2014such as the three-wheeled VW Vortex\u2014were, in fact, created for consumers seeking affordable transportation.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/future-O-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Cars of Character Discussion\r\n                <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/batmobile-293x192.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/interior-O-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                <div class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                Cars of Character Discussion\r\n                <\/div><\/figure>\n<p>If a friendly grille and soulful headlights are \u201ccute\u201d on a tiny car, what makes a car \u201cmean\u201d?
