They made Mercedes' S-Klasse looks like nothing. What a piece of crap. What Adrian Van Hooydonk and Chris Bangle's team had done to this BMW is a big success. The most preppiest BMW ever. Back in 2001, when BMW introduced the all-new BMW 7-Series, they made a new invention that other car makers followed, the 'strap on-boot'. It totally looks ugly, but others followed. So do their BMW X5. What Chris Bangle and his team had done is totally genius and out of mind. At first glance, I hate that humongous nose grille, but after that I started to accept it and it appears beautiful to me. Love this all-new BMW 7-Series.

The designer must explain to you that, 'this is the reason the car looks elegant, sporty bla..bla..bla..' Beautifully designed cars speaks for itself. Dont need to explain that a small strip of chrome makes the car look elegant. (Competition, how many times did Adrian mention the words, 'elegant' and 'sporty') Adrian, I am sure Mercedes will be grateful to you and your boss Bangle for the new 7. The 7 used to the be the pinnacle of designing. The exterior is far from elegant. Still big and fat as the previous Bangle 7. I wish they would look at the e38 7 (the Pierce Brosnan Bond model) which till today looks sleek, taut, 'sporty' and 'elegant', without the need for the designer to explain it.
