Are we sure Chris Bangle no longer works for BMW ?
Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

" slavish adherence to originality wasn't for me, because the car wasn't as good as it could be."
Rob Dickinson's response when asked what motivated him to build Singers
Mercedes . . .
F-cell concept (?) . . . only --- I hope . . .
More F-cell --- or EnerG Force . . .
From the makers of the G-Wagen comes . . . a Tonka toy? I guess Toyota sells enough of their (dumb-a$$) F-J Cruisers, that Mercedes needs to go chasing the sports-drink &-IPod crowd w/ something like this . . .
And I love light-weight/plastic/off-road-capable vehicles, too --- can you say Meyers Manx?
Mercedes . . . not-so-new SLS AMG . . .
More SLS AMG . . .
Car's so far outta my tax-bracket, it's not even funny. Not much/any change in spec . . . just eye-lashes-&-underwear kinda stuff, looks like . . .
. . . and some new colors
Halloween Edition?
More Mercedes . . . ?
'Plug-in hybrid,' huh? . . . hey --- this thing was right there, in front, out there on the stand
(And I thought their C-cars were bad . . .)
Love to hear the business-case for this little trifle. Uh --- then again, maybe not. Didn't/doesn't Aston-Martin do something like this . . . 'helps our carbon number'-kinda cr@p? . . . Cygnet, was it?
Watch --- skate-boards are next . . . and really sporty sweaters
Fisker . . .
Our CEO owned + actually drove one of these --- to work. Used to see it out in the parking lot, had a chance to look it over, up close. Same color as this one, too
Don't know where the technology is on these . . . and Fisker (The Guy) 's been involved w/ a coupla weirdo boutique-type car projects, before these came out . . . but been doing these for a few years, now
As much as I applaud the intentions, here, this car is really vast. And I don't care for/understand the Mexican metal-flake paint job . . . like the gel-coat on a ski-boat. Makes it look like some kinda body-kit that you'd stick on a Silverado chassis

Infiniti ZeroEmission . . . wonder what that means
More weirdness w/ glass + contours + misc surface treatments. Butt looks pretty 'Bangled'
Ghosn can make 'em cheaper . . . . now --- how 'bout making 'em prettier?
New Lexus LF-CC . . .
I am (SO) not a Lexus-kinda customer . . . but these Guys really do their homework, make some scrumptious products. I remember seeing this exact color combination --- gun-metal metallic w/ pumpkin leather . . . on a VW Toureg, some years back . . . really made that truck stand out, but, well . . . kinda like lipstick on a pig
So, now, here . . . Lexus takes the same dramatic combo, only this time --- on a slick coupe . . . bam! Jus' lookadis ting! Tense/taut bodywork --- sheet metal looks stretched over the stuff underneath, w/ subtle creases + bumps + bulges . . . add razor-slash cut lines. And check out those 'star-burst' tail lights
I see Bangle all over this . . . but it's not his . . . and not a BMW . . . not even German
Not exactly beautiful --- more like striking. (Luke) And VW Group still does better interiors
But this is . . . outta da park
