Rolls-Royce’s head of design, Giles Taylor, has resigned from the company, with his successor yet to be announced by the Goodwood-based car manufacturer.
Taylor had been head of design at the BMW-owned brand since 2012. Rolls-Royce said that he had departed to “pursue alternative business interests”.
Taylor joined Rolls-Royce in 2011 as head of exterior design, having moved from the position of chief designer at Jaguar where he served for 14 years. Between 1992 and 1997 he worked a designer for Peugeot and Citroën.
During his tenure at the helm of Rolls-Royce design he ushered in the brand's new identity, with the advent of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom and Cullinan marking a change in styling direction.
In a statement Rolls-Royce said it will announce Taylor’s successor in due course.

Blimey no need to insult the man or his hair style. The thing is, we don’t know what kind of constraints are placed on designers at Rolls Royce. I expect they are forced to follow a theme and taste had to go out of the window when a large percentage are aimed at Arabs who think ostentatious style is a requirement. As mentioned, look at Bentleys and Porsche suvs. And don’t tell me a Bugatti is stylish

My only question is,"how do you make a shipping container sized car look good"?

When you make the (none too accurate) comparison to a shipping container, do you actually mean the size of the container, or the shape?...given it is your only question and it is not clear, as has been pointed out.

PS What does Gargae mean?.
In all seriousness...
Look at his hair!!!
How could any sane person think that somebody who chooses that hairstyle has any modicum of a grasp on what looks good?
What a muppet.
