 Aren't We A Bit Too Harsh On DC?
I've been on this forum for the past one year and believe me we cribb on DC(Dilip Chabbria) a bit too much without thinking!!.
Being an aspiring designer myself, i know how difficult it is to come up with complete body transformations for Indian Cars and that too according to a car illiterate(mostly) persons need.
ok, i do agree that some hiss designs are completely hideous pieces of s**t, but you cant blame him for that...
DC designs accordin to his customers need now what can you expect him
to come up with when you give him a vintage rolls royce and tell him to transform it into a spanking new coupe?? or even a porsche cayenne which has to have the aesthetics of something like a ferrari(rear)...
I recently saw a lifesize replica of the dc go at some lifestyle shop in pune which sold dc trendz accessories...and believe you me that car was looking AWESOME!! like it looked nothing like in the pictures i have seen of it here on the internet...
like the paint,the dents,the curves,the cuts,completely flawless!!
and it was a replica imagine what the real thing would look like...
Another example lets take of the recently designed DC swift...like c'mon its a nice design...i bet the people who saw it for real liked it for once then they got saturated with thier "i hate DC" ego and made it seem to them that it was some crappy thing... like seriously i saw it on road and definately it looked fabulous!!
You know we go on cursing dc by just looking at pictures of his designs but trust me the pictures make his designs look wierd!!seriously the landcruiser we cursed of his i bet it looks waay better in reality...
And there are his buses!...like look at the interior!! mahn!! its boloody friggin awesome!!the best example would be the volove he has re done!!
In the end all i would like to say is;
Was ASTON MARTIN drunk to give him a project??
IS CARDESIGNNEWS.COM blind to list only him from INDIA on thier website??
Think about it...
do lemmie know what you think abt it...
cheers,
