Future vehicle design and commercial success
by J.M. Snowdon
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 5, No. 3, 1984

Abstract: There is undoubtedly a future for motor vehicles. But how will vehicle design develop? Many factors will influence future design, and among them the influence of competitive pressure will tend to encourage the continued assertion by manufacturers of the distinctive identities of their products. Steadily improving standards across the broad spectrum of vehicle design will demand new means of asserting character or identity. Particular ingenuity will be required both to find and design new facets of product distinction and to break the technological barriers which might stall progress in a particular direction.
