    I have never met anyone anyone who didn't agree that Italian automotive body styling was , well Rolling Art ... Look at all the major manufacturers with all there in house stylists & all there automotive art school degrees even some of the specialty small volume firm's...Where do they go , when they want truly beautiful couch work ? Generally to the Italian styling houses such as Pinninfarina , Bertone , Turin etc. Just to name a few ... whether it be Japanese , American or French... The list goes on , from G.M. & Chy. To Renault & Toyota ... Not always , but in general ...besides , today there ar so many highly qualified and extremely talented individuals and styling firms throughout the world that have the knowledge & artistic talent to "take your breath away &leave you lost for words" Denmark and Korea just to name a few for example ...The trouble is that so many talented individuals , like so many other artists go unnoticed , both privateers & company employees that im positive we as the public have missed out on what would have been a form that would have stood the test of time ...We will never know or get to experience what could or should have been .

      Bugar Nugroho That's for sure! I think it's also difficult to find a room. Anyway there are also restaurants and bars if you want. Have a look at their site. Cheers
