	Automotive Styling: Siemens PLM Software
		The word "stylish" is most often used to describe a unique and distinctive automotive design that through its basic shape or overall impression catches the eye.
		Automotive body and interior stylists are perhaps the best example of designers who need the greatest degree of conceptual freedom while being expected to deliver the highest geometrical accuracy.
		Automotive stylists and designers who were reluctant to employ software so intimately integrated with CAD engineering capabilities are delighted by NX’s intuitive, front-end aesthetic tools.

	Design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a noun, "design" is used both for the final plan or proposal (a drawing, model, or other description), or the result of implementing that plan or proposal (the object produced).
		Designing normally requires considering aesthetic, functional, and many other aspects of an object, which usually requires considerable research, thought, modeling, iterative adjustment, and re-design.
		Design is thus contrasted with purposelessness, randomness, or lack of complexity.

	Automotive design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Automotive design in this context is primarily concerned with developing the visual appearance or aesthetics of the vehicle, though is also involved in the creation of the product concept.
		Graphic design is also an aspect of automotive design; this is generally shared amongst the design team as the lead designer sees fit.
		Automotive design tends to differ from the other industrial design disciplines in that it has an important kinetic dimension that involves emotion and dynamics.

	ArtSchools.com - Interview with Mr. David Cole, Director of Industrial Design, Academy of Art College
		David Cole is an award-winning automotive designer who is currently the Director of Industrial Design for the Academy of Art College in San Francisco.
		Automotive design is generally split into two areas: exterior design and interior design.
		Exterior design deals with the outer bodywork of the car and so requires much larger surface development, whereas interior design is made up of a multitude of products (seats, dashboard, steering wheel, door trim, in car entertainment, etc..).

		He then explained the significant impact on design of the brand’s extension into new product categories and its proliferation of variants with each model, and how the newly introduced values of the Mercedes-Benz design identity would be used whilst maintaining the vertical and horizontal homogeneity expected from the brand.
		Despite the frequent assertions that design is a major contributor to a brand’s commercial success it has yet to mature to become as accountable or truly robust a discipline as it might; as Klemens said, sculptors are committed to themselves and the form.
		Perhaps next year’s Automotive Design Summit shall develop further with contributions that are consistent in furthering the collective development of one of the worlds most important but under-nourished professional disciplines.

	Design challenges steer automotive electronics - 1/5/2006 - EDN
		Automakers design automobiles four years in advance of their commercial release, so auto manufacturers today are working on 2009 cars, vans, SUVs, and trucks that they will release in mid-2008.
		Automotive electronics is unique in that devices have to be 100% reliable across stringent running conditions but must at the same time be low cost.
		One of the reasons that few electronic tools for automotive exist is that many auto suppliers are secretive (or embarrassed) about their electrical-system design flows and don't wish to participate in joint standards.
