I've been looking at these guys for my project. The trick is that you can use all sorts of circular projections, (ellipses, etc) but stay away from compound curves, which will make the costs,and the problems spiral out of control
The windshield form in the model is built as a monorail, which means it's basically the combination of a straight line in side view and a curve in plan view. No compound curves here

In other news, I'm messing around with the model. The A Pillar is now back up to where the Scion's is, and the rear is pulled out to go around the wheels. However pulling the body out made it all ugly so I deleted it and am in the process of remaking it...

Oh, also, I took the roofline down so it doesn't have that weird notch at the back. It intersects the shoulder line form like a liftback would.
