Car designers are like the kids who doodle in study hall or take extra art classes. They constantly work with shapes and colors, refining ideas that may later appear as the curve of a window or tapered beltline on a future production model. Or perhaps they draw for their own amusement, a form of play or whim of imagination. For some designers, maybe it's both.
That's why it's interesting when sketches like this long-nose hatchback surface. Recently posted on GM Design's official Instagram account, it was created by Geoffrey Richmond, Buick's senior exterior designer. The design is just a sketch. It doesn't hint at a new Buick model, and there are no rumors associated with it. For all we know, it's just an exercise, an older design, or something Richmond did for his own amusement.
