Rekordtider för BMW

Chris Bangle var en total katastrof för BMW! Nu har formgivningen börjat bättras, men jag är besviken över att man inte vågat ta ut svängarna mer med nya 3-serien. Bilen har blivit större och bättre på alla sätt, men formgivningen är fortfarande trist om man jämför med många andra tillverkare som har lancerat spännande produkter de senaste åren; Volvo (och SAAB var visst på gång), Audi, Mercedes, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Volkswagen, Ford, Mazda med flera och förstås en hel del renodlade sportbilstillverkare, har lyckats presentera snygga bilar under senare år.
När jag skaffade ny bil för ett par månader sedan... första Volvo'n någonsin (Volvo V60 D5-R Polestar) slogs jag även av att det fortfarande är "fel" på prissättningen så fort man tittar på tillbehörslistan hos många såkallade "premiumtillverkare" och när det gäller 3-serien var det många önskemål som inte ens kunde uppfyllas som t.ex. fjärrstyrd motorvärmare eller värme i stolarna i baksätet.
Fortfarande besviken f.d. BMW-fan (med flera BMW tidigare)

Coach Outlet Store THE London 2012 Olympics begins tonight and looks set to be the most stylish sporting event in history - with designers from all over the world showing their support for their respective countries.

Other labels to back their countries by creating their sports kits include Prada, who has designed kits for the Italian national sailing team; Ralph Lauren who has created the kits for the US, Giorgio Armani who has designed kits for the Italian National Olympic Team and Coach who has created kits for the French Olympic equestrian team.

Louis Vuitton Outlet Store THE first Machete Kills film poster featuring Lady Gaga has just been unveiled. The film, which also stars Amber Heard and Jessica Alba, marks Gaga's acting debut. The poster gives us a first look at Gaga's character, La Chameleon, and sees her posing in her underwear with a white wolf stole wrapped around her, toting a smoking gun. "Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress in the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM SO EXCITED!!! AH! Louis Vuitton Outlet Filming was insane," Gaga posted on Twitter late last night. Director Robert Rodriguez also took to the social networking site to share his excitement, tweeting: "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills , she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" Machete Kills is the sequel to the 2010 film Machete - which starred Lindsay Lohan - and is set for release next year. The singer made her film debut earlier this year in Men In Black 3, appearing as herself for a small cameo role.

Authentic Gucci COCO ROCHA and Vogue cover girl Karolina Kurkova are set to join Naomi Campbell on the panel for her new reality television show, The Face. The pair will be on hand to assist Campbell in her hunt for a new girl to become "the face" of an as-yet-unnamed brand, each leading their own team of aspiring young models. The three supermodels will be in charge of hand-picking their own group of girls, before guiding them through a series of challenges designed to recreate the real world of the modelling industry, according to a statement released by Oxygen. Gucci Outlet Casting for the reality programme is already underway in the US, with Campbell having previously announced that she's looking for "contestants who have the whole package." The show will be hosted by fashion photographer and former model Nigel Barker - who, up until he was axed last year, had been a regular on Tyra Banks' show America's Next Top Model since 2004.
