DC is out to make money. afterall, that is the ultimate goal of everyone.

Gotta agree with Nikhil here. However much I hate his designs, he is actually giving his customers what they want. Remember that he doesnt create designs and then sell them. The sale comes first and only then does he goes on to create.

Its a strange emotion i'm going through. Its the kind of feeling i have when i see something so mutated that i'm dumbstruck.. Looks to me that he is getting away doing some things that he calls design because he has the money to do it.
But here is the other question. I have seen some other ads of so called designers and none of them better. Look at what manvendra singh (i hope i got the name right) did to the amby.
And so, is there anyone(Indian) who is better than.. um.. lets say DC?

DC is too good at interior and coach design. But he is equally bad at modifying cars. He can do a SUPERB job ifff his designs were better. His quality of work is good given money-no-bar. Aston Martin didn't ask DC to design a new. They gave him the design and asked him to build a prototype, thats it. From then onwards his worksmanship took over. Which is why it came out EXCELLENT!

Apart from that, his "designs" are not to my liking. Of course, there are some cars that I do love of his, but most are just hideous.
