BMW GINA

I just read this article on autoblog about the BMW GINA....

"The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model that was seen via video being installed in the BMW Museum in Munich last week has finally been revealed, and the futuristic design study shows how BMW designers are thinking outside of the box when it comes to the materials that make up a car and also how the car relates to the driver. GINA stands for "Geometry and Functions in 'N' Adaptations", which basically means that designers from both BMW and BMW Group DesignworksUSA were allowed to throw out the rulebook."

Here is the full article Link

Here are some pictures, what do you guys think?

So wrong, so far out of the box, I hate to comment on it.

I'm not really feeling it at all.

edit- after seeing the video I like the direction bmw is going in. Very innovative. Maybe give it 10 years and they will have some very sick stuff if they continue down this road.
