The speed demon inside us (Our "FAST")

As stated before the VW GTI is one of the pioneers of the sport compact, beginning with its first iteration VW GTI MK1 in the 80's.  With its 5th generation and a market full of new competitors, VW had to do somthing different, something new, unique and colorful. The marketing team behind the new generation of the MKV, came up with a soul for the car, and appealed to car enthusiasts everywhere. They came up with what they call a "fast." The hooligan inside of all, that loves driving and driving fast.

OH ISH! - Handles

The VW GTI is an icon in sport compacts, being the pioneer and one of the leaders in its class when it comes to cheap speed. The MKV (Mark 5... last generation) came with "cute" design ideas and implementations on why it deserves to be at the top.

A reflection on MP1

At the end of mini project 1 after reflecting on our grade, we saw a need for a major improvement. Needless to say we had just another 4 weeks ahead of us and we had to add more to the new miniproject 2 than last attempted one. I personally felt what I did with the first mini project was not enough, and needed to voice my opinions more to help improve our grade.

Design- First Hand Experience & Interests

"[Archimedes] happened to go to the bath, and on getting into a tub observed that the more his body sank into it the more water ran out over the tub.  As this pointed out the way to explain the case in question, he jumped out of the tub and rushed home naked, crying with a loud voice that he had found what he was seeking; for he as he ran he shouted repeatedly in Greek, "Eureka, eureka." meaning "I have found (it), I have found (it)."
