Your take on this is absurd. No powerful man is going to willingly be taped committing that sort of crime. The age of consent in Germany is 14. In Japan, 13. There are ways for powerful men to obtain this without risking blackmail. No one would take this deal. Your theory is dumb.

Bangle was on the right track if you consider how many car companies, including Mercedes, have copied Bangle's design language. Yeah, that first 7 and 6 series trunk was nasty but the rest is still being copied 14 years later...

They're being copied and it's a disaster. The largest degradation of the man-made visual landscape in my lifetime. Worse than post-modernism! Audi and Porsche have largely resisted, and prospered. Thanks

Um, well, Audi gave us insanely oversized grills which almost everyone, including now BMW have copied. Porsche is mostly stuck in the 60s because, well, they have to to stay relevant. I'm not sure those are the best examples of something better than Bangle. Now Mazda, now there is a good design language :)
