Claim 0:
1. A siding panel having a length extending from a first end to a second end, a width extending from an upper side to a lower side, and a depth extending from a rear elevation to a front elevation, the siding panel comprising:
a fastening strip at the upper side and disposed at the rear elevation;
an upper lock adjacent to the fastening strip;
a lower lock at the lower side; and
a panel body extending from the upper lock to the lower lock, the panel body having a contoured profile including:
an upper edge that is disposed at the front elevation and abuts the upper lock,
a lower edge that is disposed at the front elevation and abuts the lower lock,
a first section disposed between the upper edge of the panel body and the lower edge of the panel body, the first section having an upper edge disposed at the upper edge of the panel body and a lower edge, the first section projecting toward the rear elevation of the siding panel to a first trough at the lower edge of the first section, the first section having
a curved slope curving substantially from the upper edge of the first section to the lower edge of the first section, or
a flat angled slope sloping substantially from the upper edge of the first section to the lower edge of the first section, and

a second section disposed between the upper edge of the panel body and the lower edge of the panel body, the second section having an upper edge disposed at the lower edge of the first section at the first trough and a lower edge disposed at the lower edge of the panel body, the second section having
a curved slope curving substantially from the upper edge of the second section to the lower edge of the second section, or
a flat angled slope sloping substantially from the upper edge of the second section to the lower edge of the second section,

wherein the upper lock includes a cavity that extends along the upper edge of the panel body and is configured to receive an insert of a lower lock of an adjacent siding panel such that upper edge of the panel body of the siding panel abuts a lower edge of the panel body of the adjacent siding panel to provide a substantially continuous appearance between the siding panel and the adjacent siding panel.
