hehehe - but maybe you should stay by the phone, because beween the old A class and that new F600 concept, Mercedes are well on their way to creating something equally vomit-inducing.

Ouch... that's going to get some response no doubt.
The X3 is not the most attractive car, but there are worse out there. For example, that R class is not a good looking car at all (dunno what Benz is trying to do). That is far uglyer than the X3.

Well, here's my take on MB:

- CLS (AMG) = awsome, best MB design since the 300 SL.
- R = klasse, good design, awsome with AMG.
- M & SLK = boringly & blandishly overconservative, but very good with AMG.

The rest, old and/or unworthy cars of wearing the MB badge (sadly not even the SLR can be saved, because those hidious headlights and GT profile, instead of must be supercar profile).

Well it's called the W221 S copy-klasse. Once the ephitome of luxury sedans,
now a blandish/japanese/for USA tastes, ephitome of ripp-offs.

Of course, nowadays, BMW leads in almost every way, cause they are coherent. They're image goes back to the 60s to cars such as the 2002.
And even that, was created to resurect their sporty image created in the 30s by cars like the 328.
With the 328, they put the driving pleasure (handling, agility, sporty but not spartan feeling) in sport cars, and with the 2002 in sedans.
So what has MB done. Look I understand they had to change things, but what is "everything to everyone" supose to mean, "nothing particulary special" ?!

This is a very good looking familycar, dont expect something that looks like an SLR... And I think it looks thousend times better than the "comic"-looking 1-series...
