Thank You, Chris Bangle! Thank you for... nothing! I've always hated Chris Bangle. I've hated him to death without even knowing why. Maybe because everybody did? Because it was the trend? Every Bayerische Motoren Werke fan on the Internet was saying that he's just destroying the BMW image. So I jumped on ... Continue reading >

Frank Rinderknecht, the guy behind Rinspeed, must have had some really long, sleepless nights before the 2009 Geneva Auto Show, as he thought up ways to make us marvel.
