I certainly would NOT call this a failure! It is nice. I like the fact that your color scheme is much softer and more restful than your reference photo.
Seems to me, the Scion should pass for "boxy" these days:

But if your reference photo is what you're after, yeah, they don't make those anymore.
OK, photo is here Forgot to use HTML-age.
I like the fact you talked through your process... and the end result of your efforts is a car with personality.... :) I would love to meet it... the photo.. is nice.. but .. um.. common.... (dont you think? ) Keep up the good work
Speaking of the Scion, the '08 version is rounder and fatter and less functional; I have no idea what the heck Toyota was thinking.
I drive a Jeep Cherokee which is going on a decade now. The husb is insistent that I should trade it in for a newer model (his mind, new=reliable), but I have resisted because I still love it as much as I did when I first saw it... Boxy and rugid, it is uniquely beautiful in a way that newer cars just aren't.
