<p>I am still very much in the early stages of what I want to do with this here site, but I figure it might help get myself motivated to start writing.</p>
<p>With that in mind, take a look at this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kTYiEkQYhWY&amp;hl=en" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kTYiEkQYhWY&amp;hl=en" wmode="transparent"></embed></object></p>
<p>BMW says in its press release:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-style: italic;">GINA (Geometry and Functions In &#8220;N&#8221; Adaptions) principle grants more freedom for car design. It allows the creation of products with a design and functional range that express individuality and meet the wide variety of requirements of those who are using them.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>While a concept car like this is obviously not going to be put into production, I hope they intend to use GINA for development, not just as a PR stunt.Â  As far as I know, the industry standard is to use full-size clay models for finishing touches on prototypes.Â  I imagine something like GINA could make that process a bit easier.Â  Not to mention it is just plain cool.</p>
<p>There is an 84 image gallery and the full press release over at <a  title="AutoBlog" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/10/bmw-gina-light-visionary-model-revealed/">AutoBlog</a>.</p>
