Playing catch up

2005 Toyota Landcruiser Prado, originally uploaded by itsvivek.

The side on view of the new Toyota Landcruiser Prado seems to be an exact replica of the SUV I've been doodling on the pages of my text books & copies over the last 2-3 years. Starting from the front bumper, the wheel arches, the glass house, C-Pillar treatment, rear light cluster, rear bumper, roofline, roof rails........everything seems exactly like I would have wanted it to be on my dream SUV. The only incoherencies are the headlights (which are even more futristic than what I'd designed) & the absence of a rear stepney & rear spoiler. It's almost as if they had a look at my sketches & followed it up with a full scale model. Chalo, finally somebody's managed to catch up with my thinking. Shows how far ahead of their time my designs were!
