First, Steve Mattin, chef designer from Volvo will quit. When he came to Volvo in 2005, after 18 years at Mercedes, he mentioned he would stay with Volvo forever, but yesterday the bomb came that he will quit. Of course the rumors started at once, where will he go? What will he do? Well, since Chris Bangle quit BMW there is a place free there. Maybe designing new BMWs is more exciting that to do the same at Volvo? But I think we can all agree that Steve has done a superb job at Volvo, even if it will really first show with the new and upcoming models like the new S60 and V60.Next thing is that Porsche have threatened to quit winter testing in Arjeplog if the city of Arjeplog doesn’t stop us photographers.
Porsche means that we are such a big problem for them, and now they are tired of it. I mean this is just bullshit, we take pictures of them at other places as well, like the Nürburgring, and they will never say that they will move from there.
They are just trying to get money from the city of Arjeplog, so that they could build a new test center in Arjeplog. All Porsches that we photographed this winter, where already photographed at other places, like the “Ring”, in other places in Germany and in Spain. So, even if I’m a really big Porsche fan I think Porsche should stop this crap.
The prototypes are disguised and they have to drive on public roads. It doesn’t matter where they move, we will follow.
