Poll: I don't know what to say...Mercedes' new M-Class SUV.

[NFS4]

Is it ugly, or is it wickedly awesome, or is it just down right NASTY? I'm still trying to decide

Thats almost ass-tekkish.

 

[Sugadaddy]

I'd definitely go with downright nasty...

 

[vi edit]

That is what happens when a VW Jetta and an Isuzu Rodeo make sweet, sweet love down by the fire.

Why would they bother with an offroad picture, they should show it in a mall parking lot (It's Natural Habitat)

Lokks scary to me.. M should stick with their kingdom... Diesel cars. They have the crown in that.

 

[NFS4]

The thing is just an ugly mix of other cars that look cool in their own right. The front is a blatant rip of the '02 Explorer/Mountaineer, the back end from the rear doors back is all Mercedes A-Class, and the side profile is all Audi.

I second downright nasty. What do you think of the Lexus RX300 or Acura MDX?

 

[LAUST]

the rugged car is intended for commercial and recreational use with a stripped-out interior and tougher, more damage-resistant bodywork.

Sweet it can handle those big shopping carts from Costco even

<< I second downright nasty. What do you think of the Lexus RX300 or Acura MDX? >>


Considering that the RX300 is based on the Camry and the MDX is based on the Odyessy minivan, I'd say that they are poser &quot;cars&quot; for soccer moms with half a squad onboard.

 

[Sugadaddy]

yep, none of them are really made for anything else than carrying groceries and a small army of children.

For looks, the RX300 is my favorite. My neighbor has the Acura and it's fugly!

 

[geno]

Everything but the headlights looks great IMO

 

[Napalm381]

Ugly. I sure wouldn't buy it.

 

[Static911]

wow...um...how do u describe that??

[Soybomb]

Fugly since it looks alot like an aztec

 

[JayPatel]

could care less for those headlights...everything else looks pretty good.

 

[jeffrey]

i see the new escalade in the front-end.


the rx300 is not a pleasant looking ride imho

 

[loup garou]

Man, that Mercedes is fugly. Does not look typical of MB designs of late.

I'm of the complete opposite opinion. I think the Acura is beautiful and quite capable (and fast). I know that the only reason the Lexus exists is to be a glorified minivan...plus it looks like some kind of tacky space probe.

 

[Linh]

arg!!! please, please, not another SUV!!!!

[Pyxis]

[prontospyder]

Doesn't look too bad.
