Originally I think I was influenced a lot by the Jaguar MkII and my intent was a luxury touring sedan with a long hood and short, curvy cabin. Later on I realized that such a car would be pretty cramped in back for a luxury car and went the opposite direction with the hideous flat-roofed car of 2002. For my redesign I retained only the rear suicide-style doors but this time made them smaller, realizing to achieve the intended shape and proportions the car would have to be a "two door" (or two and two halves door) grand tourer with occasional backseats. I retained the large trunk because it was crucial to the shape I was pursing and because this is a car for long travel cross-country over big smooth highways.
