Automotive enthusiasts

We are looking for a fresh perspective on our current design. The requirements are as follows:

- NO CHEESY DESIGNS (when people think cars, they often thing cheesy designs, we want classy designs)
- Much lighter design, majority of the readable text should be on white\very light gray.
- Happy for designers to play with the header section still being a dark color or lighter color.
- Big focus on imagery, and news feed item links should stand out (larger font sizes)
- Unique fonts can also be used to give the site some personality.
- Please ignore the left hand 'filtering' column. We are going to make that an actual filter button on the top right hand side of the feed column. SO the feed can be the entire width of the centre column.

So please feel free to be creative, but we do not want cheesy 'clique' designs.

Sites we like? Webby award winners in the automotive categeory are a fantastic place to start :
