Not exactly a remark, but idiocy nonetheless...
BMW reps who don't know who Chris Bangle is and what E46 stands for.

At Universal City Walk (when F&F opened there were imports on display) there was this kid who was standing at his friends 5th gen. Civic coupe (white) and was bull$hitting me when i asked what was all done. It was pretty funny how he was trying to be loud as he talked. Said he has been in the import scene since he was 10. He was like 16 there and full of $hit!
Guess that is why it was his "friends" ride

Re: Stupid Remarks Overheard at Carshows
Quote:
Again in all fairness most people in the States have no idea what a Skyline GTR is. Taking that into consideration and looking at the shape of the proposed R35 it is easy to see how confusion would happen. Just sit back and laugh to yourself or better yet walk up with a mate and start talking about the car loud enough for the others to hear. They will either walk away but most times will sit and listen. Just enjoy the shows and go there knowing what you know and laugh at the so called experts.

Chris Bangle is the current Chief Designer for all of BMW and is responsible for the abominations that are the future BMWs. He's totally ruining the BMW "look". Anyone who follows BMW hates him--heck most of the car industry think he's taking BMW into the wrong direction. However, he's not all bad. He was responsible for the E46. Speaking of E46... (nice segway, eh? ) BMW uses internal model codes for all their cars. It also became conveniant for the public to use those model codes too when referring to BMWs. E46 is 1999+ BMW 3 series. The previous generation 3 series were E36 and the one before that, E30. The E stands for Entwicklung, the German word for Development. The X5 is E53, current 5er is E39, current 7er is E38, and new 7er is E65. And now you know... and knowing is half the battle!! (GI Joe!!) The BMW reps should at least know what E46 stands for and who Chris Bangle is!!

yesterday,I went to the auto show and there was this dad,with his 2 boys,didn't look like he knew anything,the only way he could tell the models apart was to read the sign next to the cars,he he told his boys what kind of car it was at each and every sign he could read.
