Few vehicles out there can literally be described as mobile homes. Take the Dodge Grand Caravan; it serves as a living room, a playroom or a dining room. Of course, it can't be all at the same time, but the fact of the matter is, interior configurations are nearly infinite. Full story...

By Design: 2009 BMW Z4
2009 BMW Z4 - BMW Convertible Sport Coupe - Automobile Magazine
Now, suddenly, the most beautiful BMW roadster since the Albrecht Goertz-designed 507 arrives, embodying almost every shocking Bangle-era design cue but subsumed into a cohesive, coherent shape that is at once beautiful and elegant, expressing power and performance.

I have long defended Chris Bangle and BMW design, believing it necessary to break the classic mold that had prevailed for too long, an opinion validated by ever-increasing BMW sales. But the fact that I approved that stylistic rupture with the too-comfortable past didn't mean I actually liked the disruptive designs. However interesting they may have been, some were really awful. Particularly distressing was the 2000 Z8, which completely missed its attempt to recapture the essence of 1950s sports cars, something Alfa Romeo's 8C Competizione does perfectly. And the grotesque sagging curves of the Z3 and the 2002 Z4 turned me off completely.
