Bob Lutz: Some new BMW models are beyond ugly

From 1971 to 1974, Robert Lutz was executive vice president of global sales and marketing and a member of the board of directors of BMW. This manager is known for his extremely harsh statements: for example, the designers of the Bavarian automaker fell under the current distribution.

“I think BMW has serious design problems right now. I think some cars are just terrible from the front. Too artsy, that steampunk look,” says Lutz.

The former vice president of the company considers the lines, proportions and even details “wrong”: “Someone told me that Chinese buyers like this. I don’t believe it!”

According to the manager, some of the cars that BMW now produces are “beyond ugliness,” but people are literally forced to buy them without having an alternative.

Meanwhile, parts made from flax fibers will appear in BMW cars. Moreover, composites coming from motorsport will be used both for external body kit and for interior decorative elements.
