Yeah I watched it but that 645 looks good imo. I would love to get my hands on one.

Your humble opinion is NOT alone........ ( trust me ). You've got a LOT of company......and not all of the concurring opinions are that humble, either.

The 6 is one of his better designs, I kinda like the coupe version at first, but I seem to get less & less fond of it the more I look at it . . . I would still rock an M6 though.

Its funny how Fords New Edge design didn't work too well outside the Focus and euro Mondeo but BMW uses it, calls it "Flame surfacing" and people think its the 2nd coming.

Give me all the old BMWs please. I like the E90 3 the best, the rest, I am trying HARD to get them to grow on me (and get them in black please) but nothing much has changed.

im like u but i heard that the 3 was dumbed down due to the whining and craping about the 5,6, and 7 designs. so the 3 was a conservative transformation from the e49. so imagine if he had utilized his bangalized idea for the 3, i think it would have been much better.
