Colin Bonathan Revisits 2014 Chrysler 200 Sedan Design Study

A design study is not meant to be static, but should be at a constant state of evolution, which is precisely what Lawrence Technological University design student Colin Bonathan is doing with his conceptual renderings for a replacement of the Chrysler 200.
