Sure. But I had to give you a good example have to treat & motivate the designers.
I doubt Mr. Wada is very motivated right now. Is he even still staying with Audi? I wouldn't be surprised he already left.

Yes, for the A5, but not for his image. I lost a lot of my respect to him after reading this and knowing that didn't design the car. He could easily replace "I" with "We" and everybody would have been happy and you wouldn't find neither EnI nor me bitching around

Exactly.

Thank god for the GCZ whistle blowers hu§eindesign and EnI, you'll bring down DaSilva if it's the last thing you do right?

Wrong!
what I see is that people are defending him for doing something obviously wrong. And I really can't understand that.
No body said he's a bad designer. he isn't for me, and Audi's gaint leap in design can only prove it, but it's unprofessional and unfair. Just put yourself in the position of the man who done all the work, just so that your boss comes and claims that he was the one who did it.
I just want to know -from you and from Yannis- whether you think this behaviour is ok or not.

You have to understand, I only have your word to go on. That's simply not enough for me. I don't know whether or not Mr.Wangs rendition of the A/S5 was the 1st to be concieved, or whether it's just and enhanced version of Mr. DeSilva's, I simply don't know, and I don't think you know for a fact either!

OMG. Have you been trained by the current US administration, or what?


Of course Mr. S. Wada (not Wang!) designed the car. Why else is he signed under the sketch??!!! You obviously have no clue how does the design process work. Sketch made by parson A is signed by person A. That simply. No "but" words included.

In the end it's your right to believe anything - even the believing in the wrong stuff.


Yes, perhaps it was a coordinated promotional action by Audi: exposing WdS as the "designer" of the car. Perhaps Mr. Wada even agreed with such action (for a better salary, and position). Perhaps. But in either case such act is just wrong. Taking credits for something you haven't done is wrong!

Kudos to WdS as a designer (chief) but as person he lost a lot of respect in my eyes. Sadly.

Well the again: S.Wada is the exterior designer of the A5. Auto&Design, which is btw the most repected Automotive design magazine in the world put his name as an exterior designer. His signature is underneath the sketches that look exactly like the final result. What more evidences do you want??
Wada isn't a new designer so that he only draws what his boss whants to have - and it doesn't work like this anyway! He also designed the Q7 and its concept version (Pikes Peak).
Here is a magic word that could help you: Google.

Anyways this is getting redicolous. If you don't want to believe an obvious this it's your buisness.

To each there own, it's not that serious in the end to me fellows. I've only expressed my position from the information provided. Give it time I just might agree with you guy's, we cool?

P.S You and EnI need to stop snitchin!!

Sure we are. Nothing personal.
