When they make a rendering, they take an existing object, in this case a car, and make adjustments to that. It's much easier and quicker than starting from scratch. Look at it. That back window came straight off of an Audi A5. Let's just pray those planet-sized fog lamps don't make it to the production model!

The most prolific user was Studebaker.

Oh, what a sad day that would be. But I wouldn't put any money on renderings. They've never been close to being accurate. “If the next generation BMW 1 Series renderings are accurate, then we might be seeing the first modern BMW without the Hofmeister Kink.”
