Maybe that guy would be 'Peter Schreyer' I guess. Live, Love, Pray

Why did you have to "bring that up"? Laughing
My mum used to give me sandwiches with that muck almost every day for school.
My wife regularly orders from ex-pat shops out here and when she got some, I almost puked. Kids did the same and they eat almost anything - so proud Thumbs Up

p.s. for me, a Kia is like Speedos - they may be practical but I wouldn't be seen dead in them... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

That's better Very Happy It's about time BMW, Merc etc got a bit more daring with their boring designs! Have a go, some might say it's ugly but at least it's different and striking, you can actually begin to start to tell cars apart, they are not all coming out of the same mould Whistle
