Wasn't Walter de'Silva also an ex-Alfa designer?

Well, the reason de'Silva, designer of the R8 sports coupe, isn't here any more is because he's now the head of the entire VW group design team!

Damn! These are the kinds of transactions Acura needs to make, they need some good European designers not the current ones, because they don't know anything about a good design no matter what excuse they use.

Honda needs to wake up and get raid of those idiots that make the brand looks bad.

Wow, what a hire! Can Audi do no wrong? That is incredible talent to draw from. I'm sure he will bring some of his "team" with him as well. I can hardly wait to see the results. The only thing better would be if Audi would have bought Pininfarina lock stock a barrel. I'm sure they've thought about it.

Maybe now we could see more agresive ad sleek cars from Audi(rather than plain,boring and fat) together with the awsome and latest technology the company have and known for.

I also would like to see the end to that single frame grill.I hope alfa (makers of one of the most beatiful grill,'V' shaped)designer,design a nice one for Audi too.
