“a rough-hewn defense that forged itself into a dominant unit by emphasizing accountability”
I’ll be dipped, a BMW that I actually like the look of, in b4 this style gets “toned down” to appeal to a bigger market (of stodgy old people that can’t appreciate exciting looking cars, or have had their eyes removed) before it rolls off the line...
