It has always been more robust in control and features than Rhino but, I know Rhino has made great strides lately. It is sort of the mentor of Rhino Cad, I would say.
This freedom of shape and curved based modeling is what makes it popular for designers involved with aesthetics. It is an explicit modeling system rather than parametric. Top choice Autodesk's Alias Studio is great design/surfacing/rendering /animation software used extensively in the auto industry's design departments. The concept motorcycle frame Is purely 3d sketches and Surface Tools. I'm posting some item's I've designed in solidworks.The motorcycle rim is mostly basic revolves and extrudes except for where there spoke bends. Check out ebay for some dvd's on learning solidworks, I learned alot about the Surface Tools from those dvd's, as my 3d cad classed at a local college didn't get into depth on using them.
Once you get to that stage, you will need to design the part using 3d sketches and the Surface Tools alot as opposed to simple extrude and extrude cuts. After you put these together in an assymbly file you can design a new part in an assymbly using solidworks(big advantage over other software). For example if you wanted to design a front bumper, you would really need the fenders, head light, hood, and possibly front grill accurately in 3d. The hardest part of that task is getting the exact dimensions of what the body kit will be mating up to. You may not want to hear this, but solidworks is probobly your best bet for designing a body kit.
