The word "Legend" truly applies. He did create some wonderful things.

Not the last, Giorgetto Giugiaro, alive and well today can probably claim a higher spot in the designer hierarchy (was named car designer of the century in 1999):

There's probably more, plus they are still being born (Chris Bangle or Adrian van Hooydonk anyone?)
