For the Love (and Lack) of Style:
BMW Promotes Chris Bangle (continued) |
|
|
|
Calls placed to BMW for comment were not returned, but that's not too surprising. Mr. Bangle has been notoriously defiant of critic's of the new stylings. He has gone on record stating, "You have to be a little different sometimes," claiming that the new look of the BMW 5- and 7-series have "personality." Whoops, there's that dreaded p-word again...for a more honest perspective of that phrase, ask any single guy how many times he's been told he has a "great personality."
BMW enthusiasts will no doubt be talking about the great personality and the legendary BMW driving performance for years to come, carefully avoiding the issue of styling all the while. As long as the man behind the X3, Z4, 5- and 7-series designs is behind the wheel, it'll be tough to truly love a BMW like we once did. But then again, appearances are only superficial - it's what's under the skin that's important right? Yeah, that sounds good...we'll just keep telling ourselves that, and eventually we'll probably start to believe it. If BMW isn't careful with future redesigns, we can only speculate that 'ole Johnny's lyrics will ring through again, "And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire...the ring of fire."
