Design is a main factor for economic success, especially in the automobile industry.
Its tasks are not simple: capture the spirit of the times without being too accommodating; be innovative while meeting technical requirements such as safety and environmental standards; and satisfy the desire of end users to both identify and distinguish themselves through the vehicle.
Thus, the responsibility that automobile design bears for the economic success of a car, brand, or even for entire economies is immense.
