I was hoping that with Bangle gone, BMW would up their game :argh:
Chris Bangle was still at BMW at the time the F20 was designed (back in 2008)
And the more controversial styling elements like the 6-Series and 7-Series trunk were penned by Adrian van Hooydonck, current design boss.
BMW had LED light "bars" in their taillights before VW, and the 1-Series had square shaped taillights in the previous generation already. If anything, the Polo copied BMW lighting elements.
