Ah... the Bangle bashing lives on... I just love how random the hate for him is: it infects everywhere. Even a thread like this.

very sad to read... rip

DougLikesBMW · 08-08-2008, 12:57 AM

Wow, so very sad

. I feel bad for his family

.

And I feel bad for the auto industry. He designed the best cars ever.

Why doesn't Bangle get hit with a car

Wtf hell no. Pininfarina had his share of great designs, but all of the modern designs suck ass. They're so generic it's not even funny. The Maser GT is a fish, for instance. Give any designer the kind of design parameters that Pininfarina had (in otherwords, the car can be as impractical as he desires; low roof, small rear deck, etc etc), and you'd see a lot of "legendary" designs. I happen to love Bangle's work. I don't see how he's a tool either. That doesn't make any sense.

asdflkijd · 08-08-2008, 04:19 AM

RIP... The F40 was by far one of this best and my personal favorites

.:bHd:. · 08-08-2008, 11:18 AM

Okay this guy didnt create all of these cars. He is the CEO of pinninferina not the designer lol. For example the Enzo was not even designed at pinnifarina. It was designed at the pasadena art center then later on picked up by pinninfarina. Plus they design all kinda shit.. I have an external hard drive with pinninfarina on the side lol.

Either way RIP
