Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, I’d like to think that most of us generally agree what good looking is and what it isn’t. I’ll use the Mona Lisa and an example. Most of us agree that she is no real beauty, at least not a beauty for our time. Yet, it’s one of the most recognized paintings in the western world. Well guess what I think about it- not much. The craftsman ship in the strokes may be great, the composition might be correct for that time period. However, it’s always been a painting of something I just didn’t want to look at.
The swollen marshmallow of an over bloated suv thing carrying a roundel on the front is quite similar to the Mona Lisa to me. It’s ugly, really damned ugly. I see no pleasing lines, no single guiding design. Fake, faux and phonie grills and slats made of plastic. This is a car worthy of crushing once it’s short life span and rapid depreciation has been used up. An ugly and forgettable car by my standards. I’m hoping that it never is labeled and kept around to haunt our drives, as the Mona Lisa has been.
I’m sure it’s all perfect and ergonomic and technically better in its brush strokes and composition. However, if bmw gave me one (doubt they will based on this little writ) I would soon dispose of it, and quickly replace it with something I’d want to look back at as I walked away.
