Well, at least he's not flexible in his concepts

Hmm, the 7-series rear end, the Z4 front end, etc, etc.

Funny thing is, it seems to work better in the concept. Maybe his problem is not realizing that just because it looks cool in one place doesn't mean it'll look good elsewhere.

Kind of like putting Altezza tail lights on everything...

I'm not sure which is worse... the fin on top, the rolled under rocker panels, the f'ed up mirrors, the disjointed door/window lines, the disjointed rear end, or that Chris Bangle gets paid to design this garbage
