I dont think it changed to more of slab sided. Its that they decided to flare out the bottom away from the body, instead of curve down into the body. I loved how the original concept did that, it was refreshing. Now it look more fusion in that part. Also, she lost her hips. Sad face.

If i was the designer for this benz concept i would be really angry about the blatant ripoff of the headlights. I mean that is one unique way of designing headlights, that you cant blame on current design trends.

Close but it is THIS + the new volvo xc90:

Any word on MPGs?

I have a question...

Holy weather stripping batman!

One of the things that kills me about this, is that they dont know how bolt on fenders flares work. As they put fake “rivets” on the outer part of the flares... ughhhh

Okay, Body built and assembled by karmann, but all mechanicals and interior built by benz...

Not really because thats not true. Which gear box is shitty exactly? They had three options. The handling I’m going to guess is better than anything you drive, probably better than 60-70 percent of cars on the road. And the interior is almost completely swapable with a benz r170 slk... not exactly nice but way better…

Try finding a good condition e46 without subframe issues, with less than 60k miles for under 8grand and unless you have an m, it will probaboy not go around a track as fast as a crossfire anyway and the crossfire will kill a gti around a track, not really as practical as either tho. lol. Although the crossfire should…

They were built in Europe, I saw them about once a week when I was in Germany.

How exactly is it subpar? Rwd, 6spd manual option, top speed of 155, 0-60 in 6 seconds in base model, Mercedes built, and can be had for nothing. Guessing you don’t know much about em?

I’ve hit 151 in mine

I saw one driving around in camo in pittsburgh the other day!

“It looks like a big...”

“Looks like it might have come out of a ford”.... guh, is he trolling? Or his he just a “it’s not a Chevy logo so who cares” kind of guy?!

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
