Chris Bangle on InFrame

Chris Bangle on InFrame

November 2, 2010

Courtesy of our beloved commenter “really” comes a link to an interview with ex-BMW Design Chief Chris Bangle. The public recognizes Chris Bangle as the man who brought BMW to the top of “premium” market as far as sales are concerned, and BMW aficionados recognize him as the dude who ruined everything by introducing “Bangle [...]

BMW “Unscripted”

BMW “Unscripted”

September 13, 2010

A while back I saw all these Chevy “ads” based on their old products and image. For a company that now makes the HHR, I wasn’t quite sure that reminding everyone how cool you used to be was really the best sales tactic, but it was interesting. Later I came across this Mercedes ad which [...]

New Merit Site

New Merit Site

April 19, 2010

Our boy Jason Eichhorst has revived his Merit Compatibles website with a new focus on original content. For one of his first features he was kind enough to do a feature on my old bike and car, a sort of throwback to three Summers ago when we did the exact same thing for the same [...]

Audi and BMW Billboards

Audi and BMW Billboards

April 15, 2009

I thought that these Audi commercials were pretty funny and accurate because they made fun of Lexus, a car which no self-respecting car enthusiast would buy. But then I drove by their Santa Monica billboard which says “Your Move, BMW” and thought it was a bit weird, not just because it’s corny but also because [...]

Audi Super Bowl Commercial

Audi Super Bowl Commercial

February 15, 2009

I’m sure you all saw the Audi commercial “The Chase” during the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. Not only was it fun to watch, cramming the iconic styles of each decade into thirty seconds, but it was also very cool to see Audi give a nod (underhanded as it may have been) to Mercedes [...]
