They didn't start out particularly attractive.

There's still one in my neighborhood (a 320 CDI, not an R63). It's not something I care to look at.

Just when you thought they don't come up for sale at all.

http://bringatrailer.com/listing/200...es-benz-r63-2/

The seller probably saw the huge $$'s the last one got and decided now's the time.

No, they started out heinous and have gotten worse. The badge-engineered Chrysler version (the Pacifica) looks much better.
