Great cars are art- Chris Bangle

Most of the times, we look at the car as product. In other way, car can be seen as the extension of the personality of the person who owns the car. This brings the emotional angle to the design of the car, which is much different the the mechanical aspect of the car.

People working on car design consider the car as sculpture , which gets perfected through many trial and errors. The designer tries to discover different part of his own personality while designing the new car.

The  design team goes through several designs before finalizing the design for any car model.  Each design is owned by a bunch of designers. Every artist loves their creation. The same happens with car designers. It is difficult for the design team lead to trash the ideas of his design team members in the process of capturing the best design for the new car model.

Engineers are supposed to implement the designs. Designers and engineers need to be on the same page for implementing the car manufacturing process. Once the car designer offloads his design to the engineers, its the job of the engineers to come up with the solution to  blend the design to sustain the engineering forces.
