Lines are similar to the Tapiro. Did all Giugiaro’s designs look similar?

thats your architects eye mr. b. very spot on.

the hyundai pony is derived from this?
giugiaro was on a roll from VW and slippng out the results through the back door to the J manufacturers.

personally i think this one is the ants pants when it comes to that vector g was on.=? very bloody good.
and if the germans could not do it,.........well.




snapshot of the tie up.
not entirely unrelated to either pre event (914) or later (audi) ?

It was the early folded paper design era. He later moved on to the jelly bean design era like the Subaru SVX, Lexus GS and Saab 9000.

its possible he invented the origami trend.
(i mean stole it from J culture)
but you know the italians. they are always argueing about who did it first amongst themselves.

he worked for bertone and almost simultaneously bertone came out with the lancia stratos zero. very origami. and probably a legacy of guigairo who had left just prior.

its generally accepted though that guigaro is the man behind the folded flat plane look.
so its not so much he works in the style of that era, rather he caused that era and birthed the style.

he was pretty damn good at the height of his powers.

the jelly bean era is largely forgettable.
the second ford taurus being perhaps one of the most regrettable examples along with countless hyundais. mind you the dodge viper wasn't bad and perhaps redeemed the trend?

Love that! No surprise where the design for the Mk I Scirocco came from. My first car…
