That’s a hard market to get into, but mechanical engineering with a focus on automotive design is a good place to go. Also, mechanical engineering technology or industrial arts with lots of technical, mathematical, and automotive courses will help.
You’ll have to make sure you get good grades and aggressively pursue internships with auto makers though. It’s a very difficult market to get into, especially now with the economy and car market so bad. dorfineer

Industrial Design
Industrial Design is concerned with all the human aspects of machine-made products and their relationship to people and the environment. The designer is responsible for these products and their impact on society and nature. The designer accounts for the product’s human factors engineering, safety, form, color, maintenance and cost. Industrial design deals with consumer products as well as industrial products. In order to achieve these ends, designers must be involved in four major design and research activities: human behavior, the human-machine interface, the environment, and the product itself. Areas of design investigation include furniture, housewares, appliances, transportation, tools, farm equipment, medical/electronic instruments, human interface, and recreational support equipment. finding.4ever

You take automotive engineering as an undergrad at Kettering or Georgia Tech.
At any other school, you take mechanical engineering but really you need to go to one of the schools I mentioned to have a good shot at getting your foot in the door. Chuckles
