I still think the design will grow on most of us.
As for the reference to Nordic design and IKEA. I can see that happening in the interior of cars but I think Meridian is not there. An updated F80 could be but I don't mind it being a looker. I mean we love the look of the timeless F80 in Ferrari yellow at home.

In this pricerange I don't want another Billy bookcase. But perhaps someone will slap a walnut veener on it to camoflauge it but as soon as the volume goes up, it will still be a Meridian.
