LS i am not sure how succesful it is
i don't see too many of them on the street
and while he was copied
i think anything that BMW does is copied whether right or wrong
and name another designer that got so much bad press as bangle did
people actually made a petition to get rid of him

and wait and see
BMW will continue to grow with or without bangle
i don't think he was the reason they overtook MB on sales as much as the fact that they make great cars |
With that logic the Roman Empire should never have toppled either. Just because the S has been successful, doesn't mean it's destined to remain so. Look at GM in the 1950's; would anyone have guessed they would be where they are now at that time?
And the LS is successful. It has outsold the S Class on occasion and there are plenty of them in LA, so if the S is the bar...
And you're right, BMW will be just fine without Bangle. I guess I'm just in the crowd that thinks the guy is more genius than given credit for.
