    When this car was first introduced, I saw one on the road.
    It was so dramatic, it left me slack jawed. In hindsight however, well................:confused: :(

    Hey, that was one of Bill Towns most developped designs!
    OK, he did do the DBS, but pretty much everything else was straight lines and slab sides.
    BTW, I see the AM Bulldog was in the news this week. The new owner is going to return it to top fettle and see if it will break 200mph as promised...

    AM Bulldog.............:rolleyes:
    Once one gets over the 'shock value' of the Bulldog & the Town's Lagonda and really examine the designs, it's a letdown for me. Those were strange times.

    Never thought I'd see you giving that design your seal of approval. o_O

    What color would you like to order yours in? :D

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    You know... the exterior of his 6-series has really grown on me over the years, although I still think BMW's interiors from the pre-Bangle era were nicer.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Pretty close to a body-in-grille option on the top one! Have to figure the real beak-wettin's in the floss-to-sample program, tho ...?!

    I think it must be time for me to bow out of "design"........ I see absolutely nothing redeeming in this design. It sucks. (imho of course) Can any of the other designers on this thread explain why this is a good, even interesting, even worth doing, design?
    I'm not gettin' it.....

    IMHO, looks like next years Miata.

    However, that first car in the background seems to be something to behold further!
