Let’s ignore the fact that the challenge was basically an egregious advertisement for Saturn and focus, as the judges did, on innovation. Sent to the roof of a parking garage in Manhattan, the remaining designers found several waiting cars filled with materials like seatbelts, car seat covers and hardware — and were asked to go shopping.
