Jeremy Clarkson hates BMW too
You probably remember Jeremy Clarkson as the host of Top Gear that stired the ire of the Corvette World with his unabashed criticism. Well guess what? For once he and I agree on a review. The new BMW 1-series with it's Bangel Styling, expensive price and questionable brand purpose.

This car is taking BMW into dangerous territory...

"Before Bangle, most BMWs adhered to the same set of rules. They had a lean-forward shark’s nose, they had the double-kidney grille, they had grey paint and then there was that little kink on the rear pillar. It’s called the Hofmeister kink, after the man who invented it, and it gives the car an aggressive, lean-forward stance.
Now, though, all of these design cues have been lost in a sea of planes and creases that probably play well in design circles. But in the real world they don’t look modern or sharp. They look daft."
Go jeremy, go Jeremy...
