Thread: Another "Quebecer" that leads another German caramaker styling department

  1. 05-26-2012 11:23 AM #1
    ... or German styling by America.

    About 8-10 years ago, there was Dany Garand at Audi who designed the A8 2004, the Q7 and the first A1. Actually focusing on A1, next A3 & TT.

    Now at BMW, meet Karim Habib, who took over Bangle. If I got it right, he was in charge for the current 7-series.

    Looks like more a Bangle thing to me. He appears to me more conservative, to say the least.

    Funny how bmw's designer is of Lebanese descent. Every single Lebanese person drives a BMW or at least wants one.

    It is an interesting trivial fact for some people that chief designers for those top German cars come from here. I didn't ask for your approval or your interest, which I couldn't care less. If you see something that you are not interested (***some will be***), just *pass*.
