If your struggeling with both nurbs and Pollys I would suggest doing a tutorial that goes over both (theres a BMW Z4 tutorial using nurbs available for free) and a theres lots of poly car modeling tutorials available to find your feet first before going on to tackle such a big project.

For me I would use polys, just thats because I suck at nurbs.

well nurbs an polys are he only way since wen u use sub d u edit in polys

i would personally use nurbs for this
i also would have a look at the bmw z4 tut on 3dtotal first

good luck
