Funk Flex spends a lot of time listening to car designers and what they have to say, so when a whole group of them gather at the North American International Auto Show, you can bet someone on his team will be covering it.
Eyes On Design is one of the best auto design awards on the planet because it is judged solely by automotive designers with no outside influences.
These designers gathered together yesterday evening to name the 2011 Audi A6 as thw best all-new production vehicle at the show. They noted it as an excellent example of modern design with flawless executive.
Check it out!, the A6 simply screams excitement and then check out this list of judges and think about all the cars and bikes they have designed over the years. Wow! Now you can understand how excited Audi must feel to win such a coveted award.
