I think it depends. I see many occasions where BMW has mainly been a pricey average car manufacturer.

But that Gina is gorgeous. The Z line totally breaks my heart, too.

Saw it a few months back. Spectacular concept, but I'm not sure the whole "Redesign your car" would be very practical *yet*

pretty cool until it gets saggy and stretched out. Then it's about as sexy as a fat bottom lip flapping in the wind.

or very old implants

I guess there would be a maintenance thing where they would "change the skin" every few years or so.

ok, after I got past my adolescent wanting to put "VA" in front of the acronym, I must say this is an amazingly cool idea. I love it when form supersedes function but yet insane function is ultimately achieved!! very cool.

less weight? Gl having less weight while adding motorized pop-up tent gizmo's all over the car.

Still a neat idea though, maybe when they create metals that can be alerted and take specific shapes at will we could see this. So, 2085 is my bet.

You think that if they make a 4-valve version, they'd name it the V4GINA?

I love you Spanky. My throat hurts from laughing now. And bronchitis. But mostly laughing.

Dude! I have bronchitis too!

Had a breathing treatment and some chest X-rays this week. The best is coughing up gobs of stuff for half an hour each morning. At least it tastes good.

Mmm, I got 2 different pills, and 2 different puffers (still on 1) and I'm still coughing. Ugh.

Yes, the gobs of stuff is fantastic! It's especially fun when you decide to cough coming off of a milk chug and cough up A GALLON OF MILK.

Wow, I think this is a fantastic idea and I really can't wait to see the technology trickle down.

Guess it would be a different story if it was a Nissan or a Honda, we all know your bias towards the asian lovelies
