Every interview this guy does makes him look more foolish and out of touch with reality than before. As I have stated numerous times before, he is a narcissist and every interview confirms that further and further. But he was hired by people who clearly want someone like him because he represents their views and biases. THIS is what is really wrong with BMW, not just disfigured kidney grills.

"I didn't want to work. I just wanted to play,"
Great quality to have...crappy work ethic.

"But later on I learned that, actually, there are no rules."
Spoken like a true narcissist.

"In my eyes, the 4 Series Coupé really isn't as radical as it is made out to be by the the media. It's a very elegant car with very good proportions."
Not true.

"The only thing that could be perceived as unconventional is the shape of our kidney grille."
Not true.

"It makes me wonder, in a way, how people are so superficial that they judge on one detail."
A narcissist who calls all of us superficial. Again, proving my point. He is so full of himself and easily demeans groups of people.

"I always admired Karl Lagerfeld for what he did at Chanel, but also for his attitude. He didn't care what people thought."
Boom...there you go. Thanks for pointing out that you really don't care about people and you admire racists. I have posted before that Dukec follows racist tendencies and people on this board could not see that. Lagerfeld was a documented racist, anti-Semitic German, and misogynist. He was seriously a disgusting guy. Dukec admires that quality. His words and interviews have backed that up. That's why I have referred to him as Karen Dukec.

"What I try to teach everyone who is not a designer is that good design is not about pretty or ugly."
It absolutely is about pretty or ugly! Who wants an ugly, overpriced car?

"So it's not about taste, but about gauging what a customer actually desires, or what they could desire in the future."
All the groups and feedback have already spoken and said we don't like this design language. Both Dukec and Hooydonk said in interviews that they don't listen to these groups.

Again, we vote with our wallet. Beyond an ugly design, I cannot vote for a company that hires someone who is a narcissist, racist, and criticizes his customers and a company with executives that support and encourage this attitude.
