Kia Design to be Headed by Montreal’s Karim Habib

So who's the boss of design then? Peter Schreyer or Karim Habib? Or totally different roles?

I'd personally like to see whoever is the top brass of quality canned and bring someone in to get the quality top notch, especially on the Stinger.

Peter is President of global design , Luc is the key Design guy and Karim reports to him .................

 

[YEH]

Luc is basically calling the shots now (Schreyer is now more like an emeritus now) in terms of hiring of designers and overall design direction for all 3 brands.

Hyundai - SangYup Lee
Kia - Karim Habib
Genesis - Filippo Perini
