    I would not call that insanity. Trying how to achieve new and different looks utilizing what technology will allow is what the designer is supposed to do.

    Comment section for that article bring up some other interesting GM products: 3rd gen Camaro/Firebird, the early 1960's bubble top, reverse curve Chevrolet B bodies.

    I do not mind the bent glass. It made an interesting way for a different termination of the roof for its time.

    Recently the Ferrari Design Team hit it out of the park with 2 Red Dot Awards.
    From Mr. Manzoni's page: Image Unavailable, Please Login
    "Fantastic ceremony last night in Essen at the Aalto Theatre, for the Red Dot Award: one of the most prestigious prizes in the world, considered the Oscar of design... It was the first time in the history of this award that two Red Dot "Best of the Best" were given to the same car manufacturer, in the same edition. Very proud about my team of the Ferrari Design Center!"

    Congratulations but it looks like a couple of the group need to learn how to dress for an awards event.

    It’s a design award given to outstanding design.
    The Red Dot Award is a recognised international seal for good design. For 60 years, it was pursued by companies and design studios as a credible endorsement of their design excellence. Companies and studios knows and respect this seal for excellent design.
    The Red Dot is the distinction for high design quality. Only products that demonstrate outstanding design are awarded the coveted seal of quality by the international jury.
