    Interesting Pininfarina Sketch

    Most probably a sketch for the 360 Modena, but with a hint of Enzo at the front.

    Sorry if shown anywhere before, picture might be old but I never saw it before.

    Thanks for the sketch (which I have not seen) and it seems to confirm the recent rumors RC posted a couple of weeks ago. Front and rear end has some similarity to the Enzo.

    It is going to be one gorgeous car! However I am not sure Enzo owners are going to like the resemblance.

    This is a very old sketch for the Modena prototypes.
    You can find it in the book 360 Modena edited by automobilia, very good books BTW.
    So this is way before the Enzo, sorry to disappoint.

    Hmm, I thought so. But still it has some Enzoish details for me around the nose.

    to me the back end looks like a supra...with the 3-4 round sections clumped together horizontally.

    There is NOTHING uglier than a 6-series! I just saw today a 645i for the first time in person, I can't believe this thing got passed the drawing board! seriously, to see it in pics is one thing but when you see it in person... what were the designers smoking! it has the atractiveness of an oversized Nisan Micra!

    Wow, another ex M5 guy! Awesome!

    Well I do like some of the new BMW designs, but most are quite disapointing. Funny thing is, is that BMW thinks that this new design strategy is really going to work.

    Well, we can't really expect BMW's top management to tell us that they had just come back from a heavy session at the Hofbraeuhaus when they approved Chris Bungle's designs for all their recent models!

    I'm no marketing guy or anything like that, but I can say this much, here in the states, the new BMW styling isn't selling so great. About the M5, wow, really, a great car, the torque, the engine note, everything about the car screams power....

    I wrote a letter of support to Chris Bangle because I think he's gotten too much of a bashing. I got a handwritten letter back from him. I like the 7 Series and the Z4, but I'm not crazy about the 5 Series. I own an M3, but will not buy another Bimmer until they fix or get rid of I-drive.
