3DnuTTa's Car Design Tutorial

I've been asked by some how I've modeled this concept car [link] well these are the steps I used.
This is done in Maya 7, but I'll try and keep techniques as broad as possible so you can follow it in any other 3D apps.

Note: Please note I've not studied car design, so these are just my methods and may have some faults.
Also, I've not written a tutorial before, so I'm sorry if it's not the best

edit:
Have gone through and added some more detail and reworded some of this...
