Gotcha. Gawker trashed Jalopnik. They got more than they deserved, but they did deserve some of that legal ass beating. The days of Ray dragoning cars at auto shows were just a better time.

Great comment.

Thanks for saying that. From an artist/designer’s point of view, what Bangle did with automobiles was entirely understandable and intellectually justified. He wasn’t designing something that looks pretty, he was trying to design things that are meaningful. That’s partially why his design ethos spread so quickly so…

Bangle made the design of the future. Honestly, I loved the E65 when it was new; I still love the design today. Bangle is like Warhol or Wright or Dali - polarizing but, just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not art.

I agree. I really wish I could remember where I read an insider defense of his work, but I can’t so I’ll paraphrase.

Bangle is a shockingly underrated designer with surprisingly few misses to his name, and to be honest, he’s right. With only a few exceptions, car design has gotten super stale and boring. Not everything he did was good, but it was all original.

I love your username.

The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

Whenever I’m off-roading, I always think to myself, “man, I wish my seats were white.”

This makes me insane:

Meanwhile, across the street, the BMW folks are hopeful that they’ll be able to squeeze in a second car.

Nice humble brag.*

Thousands of Jalopnik comments: I would totally buy a CTS V-Wagon if it was manual and a wagon.

I tried to watch some of his content but I don’t have 90 minutes to watch a guy walk around his garage.

Damn - didn’t realize that. At nearly $30k, CP. At $23k, NP.

What a no-good bastard. At that price, it’s CP.

Crack Pipe for misleading ad. He’s really asking $28,999.
