mu77y, sorry, but ZB is inappropriate 4 serious car-modelling... serious cars can U make with nurbs-proggi only -- everything else is trash... I know, what I am talking about, because car design is my job...

Rhino would be best, but modelling a car in any app won't be easy :D are you sure you're not running before you can walk???

Check out this guys gallery, some of the best car modelling I've seen on the web, all done in rhino3d...........

Car modeling can be done very well in SDS software like Silo as well:

Rhino by far is the best way to go. That website is that of my freind, Saba. I've known him for a loooooong time now, and is an excellent car designer. Rhino is really easy to learn, just takes a differnt mind set, nothing like polymodeling. www.rhino3.com (http://www.rhino3.com) has a free eval u can dl. tons and tons of car tuts out there. enjoy!
