hello my new favorite merc

Now that is a goddamn Mercedes!

I like it.

I'm glad you saved me the effort of posting this, since I was just coming on to do so.

However, my reason for posting it was because I think it looks like utter dogshit. Busy, retro, dischordant fugly. I dislike it to an astonishing degree.

I was about to say. This thing is horrid.

FUGLY. WTF is up with that front fascia?

WOW, that rules.

It's awesome, that's what.

dare i say too much power though? around 400 bhp would be more appropriate imo.

and pretty light for a merc. arent the SL55's and such over 4000lbs?

That this is awesome. You naysayers don't know what's up.

i would like to see a pic of the outside without the opened doors.

That GTR is a work of art. Stare at that picture for 10 seconds, then quickly scroll up and look at that first pic above. How can you still say that thing is good looking? It's an abortion...

Ugly and Automatic. Double Fail.

reminds of the enzo. not pretty, but looks just vicious, and for that reason its awesome.


and i dont think the clk-gtr is particularly special looks wise. it just happens to be probably the fastest point to point road car ever built, because its not really a road car at all.

Badasses are rarely ever pretty.

speaking of ugly bad asses. that car has an awfully bad ass. it's ugly. looks like a solstice.

I think the back looks disjointed but the front looks great IMO. Plus turbofrog hates everything that isn't rwanda.

lolwut!

That is amazing. Maybe not beautiful or my first choice, but a unique design I would love to spot on the road.

front would be a 100% hit without the headlights..but overall, great looking car

all the retro design haters now love the merc retro design? wtf?

i think the front looks like a dodge or some other american car. seems nasty fast though.


and i agree with pennz: the gtr is anything but pretty.

I just don't bother commenting on things I like.

I like it and I don't like it. It was Mercedes attempt at a retro design and they combined too many modern Mercedes-esque touches to the exterior. The grille I see a retro look, the headlights throw it off. The gullwings look excellent. The rear end would look a lot better if it didn't have that trunk lid.

I wonder what BBZ thinks about this car.....

It looks pretty good overall, but there are some angles where it looks poor, and others where it looks fantastic. I bet it's one of those cars where photos don't do it justice.

you guys are homos. that thing will rape small children like the fucking sierra leone.

speaking of "GTR", "vicious-looking", and "anything but pretty":



but it's definitely badass, no?

WHO? WHO DOES NOT LIKE RETRO???

Actually, I think that back angle looks like a Viper convertible, thanks to the open doors giving it a similar C-pillar.
