new design chief for Porsche

[woolfie]

For those who read the FT in companies section pg 28: you will see that the current design bloke is to be replaced with the man from Saab. He is Michael Mauer, 41 was in Saab and resp. for concepts like the 9-3X (off road/coupe cross-over..uuuhh) & 9-3 sports hatch. Reading this it says he will inject fresh thinking into the brand blah blah blah...and before Saab he was at Mercedes, and he did the small A-class & SLK models and also was resp for Smart car evolution.

hmmmm
