I was reading an old interview with Chris Bangle, who said to get an idea of a perfect design balance between wheel/tyre/gap in arch/arch - simply stand with your back to the car, by the wheel. Bend over & look between your legs at the wheel/tyre etc.

Give it a go...

 

What would he know about design? .. he does BWM's and the new Mini!

 

... and the Fiat Coupe

I doubt it's his idea - he was probably taught this by another designer at some point.

 

We used to grow cucumbers commercially and my husband always used to stand with his back to the crop, bend down and look between his legs to judge the yield.

 

I don't mind the coupe, apart from the wheels. Too small and they look like they are tucked about a foot in on each corner.

So it's funny he made that comment.

 

That explains a lot about some of Bangle's designs.....

 

Maybe someone pointed this out after he did the coupe - you learn from your mistakes!!



Mistress Quickly - that's interesting - about the veggies!

 

Oh my...... I'm keeping quiet

 

Yep, someone should have told him to open his legs first

 

Has anyone taken any pics from this angle?
