There are other manufactures out there hitting all the right notes lately - Porsche and Hyundai immediately come to mind. BMW are not on that list currently (IMO).
I mean does it really take much design knowledge to design a Porsche ? They haven’t veered much from the original design. The 911 looks pretty my the same except longer. The Macan and Cayenne r elongated versions of each other. Same with this Tayan and Panamera. Porsche designs r really boring and not any different.
As far as Hyundai, it’s downright insulting. All they do is copy other people’s designs. The Genesis design dept is a joke. They took most of the styling from BMW and put in a Cadillac grill. It’s hilarious that you compare it to them.
The concepts r supposed to look funny and crazy. The real world ones r usually much different than the concept. The Rivian pretty much looks like a concept but it’s been well received. So to each their own. Im glad BMW is going back to the smaller grills of old with the concept.
