This, I really like. A slightly longer trunk would be my only recommended modification.

This, I really do not like. I really like the F-150's sizeable front end, with large headlights and grille. In your version, it would come out looking like a long Ranger.

Nothing personal, of course.

Rough around the edges, but I like the design. Nice job.

I like the front too, but wasteline from the side is way to big IMO.

They couldn't make the front end big and shrink the rest. If they want a big front end, then they need to make the rest of the beltline higher for it to be remotely attractive.

Agreed. I don't like the F150's look in general, but you can't make part big and part not without it looking completely misproportioned and awkward.

They could make the hood more horizontal instead of sloping downward.

It still would look like a long, fat Ranger.

It looks nothing like a Ranger now, thanks in part to its higher waistline.

Attractive enough, but far too similar to the Monte Carlo. Also, the Monte body wouldn't go onto anything RWD, is there a platform that you were thinking it belonged on?

Nope.  You gotta have an imagination, though.

You picked the wrong manufacturer for that one.

They just don't use it, they have had the craziest concepts ever.

Crazy concepts do not equal retail success. They need the imagination to make viable production cars that are nice to look at, not bland or ugly.

I guess that depends on what you mean by crazy concepts. They have some interesting ones, but they certainly don't have the most radical.

You mean like the 50's LeSabre concept by Harley Earl, and the 3 Firebirds from the 60's/70's, and the GM autonomy, and their hydrogen vehicles, and the Cadillac Sixteen?
