*I think that I wrote that remark. *The XKR had a good design going until they put that vertical chrome strip on the side of the front fender. *It looks like (are you ready for this?) the heat extractor on the side of a Mack Truck. *Then they added those awful bling wheels. *Here is a little something that seems to have followed the purity of design spirit except they are all into pimp wheels. *The 6 series BMW coupe that Marin drives is a good example of a classic, enduring design.
The XKR had a beautiful, curvacious design going. *Why they thought they would put an absolutely vertical piece of trim in the middle is a conundrum. *It in effect cuts the car into two sections. *I just don't get it.
