Those ultra high performance SUV's are becoming utterly ridiculous and silly

Take out "ultra" and "high" from that sentence and thats whole story about this car IMO..and any other SUV like it,for that matter .

These tuners all could use some time in a design school: their body kits are horrible. The current ML is a nice and classy looking car, sporty too, and these body kits from Brabus, Carlsson etc. all scream RICE to me.

And do we really need beefed up gas-guzzling SUV's with even more powerful engines?

Exactlly I hate those tuner and their stupid body kits. I was watching the other day some old video of Top Gear where they tested a Brabus SL and the thing had so much power and tourqe that it was practically uncontroable so why would you want such a car.

And the body kits - they don't even deserve to be called a Mercedes tuner because all they do is destroy the cars visual appeareance that doesn't even remotly go with Mercedes history or anything else. It's just quick money garbage and I would never buy a Mercedes and have some tuner house rip the Mercedes badge out and put their own in. Why would they do that - did they design, build, test the car - no, they just TUNED it so I really don't get it.

If I would be Dr.Z I would ban all this aftermarket tuners from tuning and advertising their products because all it does is hurts the image of originally tuned AMG Benz and puts smiles on all the haters because they have something to point their fingers to.
