Our illustrious designer does more than cars......
Giorgietto Giugiaro designs more than cars:
Excerpt from Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement, Sept 2003, pg 19: The little Beretta [Cx4 Storm] certainly looks different. The carbine's exterior was styled by Giorgietto Giugiaro, a name usually associated with expensive Italian automobiles, such as Maserati, DeTomaso and Lamborghini. Giugiaro's earlier design for Beretta, the 9000S pistol didn't capture our enthusiasm for a variety of reasons, but his latest effort is right on target. The Storm, like the 9000S, bears the unmistakable mark of Giugiaro, but this time he apparently started with a clean sheet of paper. This little carbine is a tour de force, which equals excellence in anybody's language.

"Available now at Ron's "Shoot'em'nSkin'um" emporium. No waiting period for those with cash!" Kidding aside, while I'm not a "gun person" that is still one cool looking piece of hardware. Looks like it just stepped out of a sci-fi movie. Does this mean we all have to figure out how to put a gun rack in the back window of our SVXes?

Meanwhile, the other gun mentioned in the article (The 9000S Pistol) was the pistol used by Tom Cruise in "Minority Report." http://www.thearmedcitizen.com/beretta.htm

Kinda looks like a Ster Aug. Did he design that to? Hope my video game(Rogue Spear) gives me a chance to shoot this SVXgun.

Unless I'm mistaken, he also designed a tire. A Vredestein I think. There was a post about it some time ago.
