This new title in The Car Design Yearbook series features all the new cars launched worldwide from April 2008 to March 2009. This year`s edition marks the launch of the Car Design Yearbook Awards, which nominate winners in the categories Best Concept Car, Best Production Car, Best Interior, The Environmental Award and Designer of the Year. For the eighth yearbook, Stephen Newbury and Tony Lewin also explore how tricks of the fashion trade - colour, texture, lines, patterns, shapes and seams - are used in the car industry, and consider the many varied facets of door design.
