Automotive designers like Ralph V. Gilles of Chrysler (pictured) are likely the next group of playboys, after actors, rappers and chefs, to influence media-driven cults of personality. We won't be surprised when Car and Driver or Motor Trend starts a column like the New York Post's Page Six or Us Weekly, with spy photos of, say, BMW's Chris Bangle choosing Hermes ties. It's probably not surprising, considering that, unlike a museum-bound Picasso, we eyeball their creations thousands of times a day.
