A lot of the things you guys have been mentioning have been basically spot on for what we had in mind. Keep things coming, I'll make another thread for the "sandbox" in the form of a poll. This will be where i will collect the data on what will be equipped or available as an after sales option as well as technical features. I'll make a series of posts within that thread to focus on specific areas and we'll knock them out one by one, I'll cross post these threads on a few forums but the activity will be here to keep it centralized.
Lastly i'll collect ideas and drawings from everyone to be submitted for the final drawing(s). After that we'll reveal some hints to the body styling for everyone to voice their opinions on without actually showing the concept(s) as a whole. This will prevent the internet from knowing what it looks like before MM, secrecy in this area is important (probably why automotive companies don't open source anything)
I don't have a deadline on this project yet but i'll get that up ASAP, I've got a good headstart though.
