BMW

我不是真正爱车的人,但每天在路上的时间长,又无聊,久而久之,也有了愿意多看一眼的车。结果显而易见,影响我喜好的主要是外形,尤其是车尾的形状。

最喜欢的是BMW 3 Series尾部上沿,后面看是一条优美的弧线,不多不少;侧面切出个小小的锐角,妙不可言。虽说所有的车都是模俱做出来的,可它给人的感觉好像是正面和侧面全是高速下风吹出来的,工厂里所做的只是在尾部那么微妙地切了一下,然后嵌上那个经典的标志。

可惜自从换了首席设计师后,BMW就一个型号接一个型号的不行了。先是7 Series,尾部的那个金属条简直是令人发指;5 Series 变得有点像Ford的Taurus,或是其他什么美国车;3 Series坚持的时间最长,大约因为它实在是BMW之所以为BMW,不过3i已经不行了,3Ci明年也要改:那个锐角已经或者是将要被锉平了。谁要是想买BMW经典设计的新车,只有今年了。

What's the gas price there?

I would think about the most gas-efficient car now.

that's a good point. BMW definitely needs premium gas,which is now around $3.30 per gallon in my town. but again, this blog is just "what I saw": appreciating the beauty of a car is absolutely free.
