   Top BMW designer Karim Habib defects to Mercedes-Benz
from www.autoblog.com

Both
Mercedes-Benz and BMW have seen recent design-chief departures, and now
there's been a defection. Karim Habib, who had a hand in the F01 7 Series while
at BMW, has left the Roundel for the three-pointed star. Habib's move
to Mercedes has him overseeing Mercedes' advanced design studio in
Stuttgart, working with MBZ design chief Gorden Wagener. 

Tasked
with the brand's F cars, Habib's work will be looking two generations
ahead, to the cars after the next new ones. Let's hope that the F700 goes on the same kind of de-uglification program as the 750 went on before it becomes an S-Class. Thanks for the tip, Horatiu!
