    The front looks like the 300sl...the back is awful looking though...

    I dunno what to make of it! That soundtrack though is very very sweet

    The back of the 300 looks like a Daimler 250/Jag Mk 2!!!

    The 300 is an amazing looking car everywhere else though so it makes up for its ass!!!

    This. It's an almost perfect blend of old and new.

    The only bad part was robbing the back end off an mx-5, which looks perfect on an mx-5, not so much on this

    At first glance I thought the same. Altho the LEDs are Audi-esque.

    The tail end reminds me of a Chrysler Crossfire (which is an old MB anyway).

    I think you might have to be German to like it, or something, as I'm not sure what to make of it. And why does the video show the driver fiddling with the climate control every now and again?

    Nice.

    Mind you, GT-R -esque front lights........or, being unkind, 99 Honda Prelude lights..........

    Hint of 612 on the front silver shot........

    All good, though.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
