But like a lot of the comments on that page said, look how many other cars were influenced by the design - toyota/lexus, etc. I think BMW has always put out a quality product, I wouldn't mind driving one.

Homer was quite the designer, factoring in all of the necessities. Quote: The features Homer added to his vehicle are: * Extremely large beverage holder * A little ball on top of the aerial * Tail fins * Bubble domes * Shag carpeting * Several horns that all play "La Cucaracha" * For younger passengers a second soundproof bubble dome with optional straps and muzzles Homer describes the car as "powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball".
