Anyway heres a rim.

-The proper renders look like shit
-You can judge vert & poly usage better
-Looks 20% cooler

That's not a wire frame its an out line of the mesh so its tells you very little about the poly count.

or the poly flow. For all we know you're just hiding a messy mesh behind some poor renders.

That would explain why he deleted all the original pictures showing the mesh properly. But I won't believe it until I see it..

That looks so good! about time we had some military trailers....

Please criticize the wire frame before I get this one wrong too :P

That's actually looking pretty nice. Bit messy around the window frames (curve your pillars!) and you seem to have more segments than you know what to do with, especially above the wheel wells, where it's looking a bit lumpy. You have seem to have more polies in general than you can control, and not consistently. For example your wheel wells are exceedingly blocky but the bodywork above has twice the poly density it should have at this stage in the modeling process. Don't be afraid of having a few triangles above the wheel wells in order to save polies.

Like I said to Nadeox many times, model low poly and accurately first, and get good at that, before you try to do something this smooth.

Wouldn't the lack of vertical segments on the doors make collision look strange?
It's rectangles and not square polys.

Is it a Chevy Lumina? or a made up car? Sorry if that was insulting

You can add more segments in literally a few seconds later. It's better to keep areas like that low poly until you're certain you're done with them and only then you can add a couple segments in the middle.

I just prefer these types of renders.They look better to me.If you don't like them, there is nothing you can do to change them.I do admit some areas of the mesh are messy, mainly the tarp, but I want to get the bulk of the model done first before refining it.
EDIT:
MUDFLAPS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER.

Model Practicing - Volvo 850 Estate - Proceding by modelling Low Poly model, without smoothing. I did it right till now?

That look fab-u-lous! I'm no expert, in fact, I'm noobier than you, but that poly flow looks good.Better than my messes of models.
And writing on the render is a good Idea, I should use a timestamp to track my progress personally.How do you add that writing to the render?

That is called STAMP in blender, under render settings. Also the model is a unique mesh just different materials which is better then separating parts

That will be a lot of help in keeping track of my 'evolution'.
Speaking of evolution...
