Chris Bangle is one of my least favourite car designers ever, he thought the S80 looked like it had been crashed before it left the showroom!
That's got to be the biggest case of pot and kettle I've ever heard...

True. Bangle's car were disgusting. Also, he was at a motorshow a year or two back when Jason Castriota was explaining to him his design of the Saab Phoenix concept car. Bangle came across as superior and patronising, as if he was a king and JC was a schoolboy. Realy annoyed me.
Especially as JC designed the Maserati Granturismo, one of my favourite cars. |

The problem with the 98 S80 I believe is the failed evident intentions to round corners and soften edges of what was before a simple straight line (that was nothing wrong with it). These features do not really show on the current S80 because it is simply was not intended.
