"What do the following cars have in common: Alfa Romeo Alfasud, Audi 80, BMW M1, De Tomaso Mangusta, De Lorean DMC-12, Ferrari GT Bertone, Fiat Spider, Fiat Uno, Ford Mustang (2006), Lamborghini Cala, Lexus GS, Lotus Esprit, Maserati Quattroporte, Saab 9000, VW Golf, VW Passat and VW Scirocco? While we’re at it, what do these cars have in common with the Ducati 860 GT motorcycle and the following Nikon camera bodies: F3, F4, F5, F6?
Dgiugiaro1_2 Give up? All of the above were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, one of the greatest industrial designers ever to come out of Italy. Giorgetto Giugiaro was named Car Designer of the Century in 1999. Now while I do have a certain interest in cars, it doesn’t come close to the passion I reserve for good design and fine food. You can imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered that Giugiaro had dabbled in pasta design. In November 1983 Voiello, an innovative pasta manufacturing company in Naples owned by the Barilla group, decided to break the mold, so to speak, and develop a “modern” pasta shape. The assignment went to car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. Giugiaro submitted 12 designs from which one was picked to go into production." |

I think the MKI rabbit might be some of his best work. That car looks great to me. The proportions are perfect.

Such a great, great designer! The original Scirocco is one of my all-time favorites but there are so many...

IMO, the first Scirroco was an excellent design.

Ya it really went downhill from the first Scirocco. They let Karmann do the corrado and its not near as sexy.

GG submitted designs. VW said 'nevermind' and had Karmann (I think) do it, based on GG's parti'. Isuzu later bought GG's Scirocco design from GG for the Impulse with detail mods. Look at the Impulse and the Scirocco II next to each other. Similarity can't be denied. Twins. Last edited by tcar; 10-27-2011 at 11:04 AM.. |

It is Pininfarina. (Besides the fact that it looks nothing like a Giugiaro design, the Pininfarina badge on the front fender is a bit of a giveaway!). |
