So his resume reads "designed one car that looked like a fat beetle"

:-) I thought I was the only one who thought the Bugatti looked "bulbous".

Um, not really sure this is a good thing. It might be fun to say, but maybe the folks at Genesis should rethink their choice.

Yes the Bugatiti's are ugly. However, let's analyze this development a bit.

Flip side - side the head designer quit, should we read the tea leaves and assume that there will be no more 'designing' required at Bugatti (i.e. the Chiron will be the last one)?

Seems to me that Bugatti is done after all the Chiron's are sold and that, anyway, Bugatti is redundant with Lambo. Lambo kind of sucks as well - they are fancy Italian Audi sports cars.

(Corollary - I guess that Bentley's are fancy luxury sedan/SUV Audi's).

VW is the new GM - Cutlass, Regal, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo - Lambo, Bentley, Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda. Seems the same to me!
