I know that they like flashy MB's. How about this? It sure is "one of a kind".

I don't like that Mercedes body style, but with that color, it almost works...

...drool.

Only one problem with it. Mercedes always strikes me as a marque of statement by way of understatement. Making the car yellow...just doesn't do it for me.

:lol:

you'd think ALL german marques would be also driven by that sentiment.

I've never liked their flashy colors. As much as I love a red car, I've never been a fan of Mercedes' red. This yellow might be okay, though.

I should tell mine to go get it.

Used to be. Not since the new frog-eye treatment came in, though.

Maybe the only exception to this rule would be the new SLK, which I think it not so pretty up front. Other than that, even MB's swoopiest coupes seem restrained to my eyes. This was more true one generation ago.

It's like the SLR. A penis with wings.

I always compared it to a baboon, but PWW works, too.

Totally different opinion on my end-- I love the bodystyle of the current generation SL, but I hate that color. :twisted:

In fact, it kind of bothers me that I actually like the latest generation of cars from Benz (with the exception of the really ugly nose on the new SLK). That's not supposed to happen.
