Consistent suggestions, Fiat continued to stimulate the flow of ideas by providing references, through images and texts on what was feasible. A desirable car for the future, regardless of technical feasibility. But at the concept design stage, Fiat wanted to focus on designing a viable prototype to exhibit at the 2010 edition of the São Paulo Motor Show. Internet users were invited to vote on what they preferred. To please the greatest number of consumers, the designers decided to adopt the most voted version, but with some elements from second place. The open innovation process did not stop when the Phone Number List designers began to build the prototype. Throughout this stage, Fiat continued to cultivate dialogue and encourage people to make decisions. The options were put on the Fiat Mio platform to be voted on by users. But the process was now aimed at perfecting a proposal, rather than generating alternatives. The modeling process began by digitally sculpting the car in 3D. The modelers received that model and created an initial metal structure, which served as a skeleton. Next, it was onto the machinery, where an offset print on Styrofoam formed a structure that was manually covered in clay. A milling machine corrected the format, bringing it closer to the virtual model. After that came more manual work with designers checking line by line for proportion, volume and distance, and making manual adjustments when necessary. For the car's interior, a similar clay model was made, where the designers could sit, touch, feel and decide what needed to be modified.
