I was at the LA car show a couple weeks ago and saw this at the Merc exhibit. I would have posted it sooner but I was unavoidably banned.

First, it's the LA Show

Second, the tuning exercises for the GLK aren't by Mercedes

The big news was the E Class concept, which was a coupe that had a hatch like rear end

I don't know, but this bad boy was.

Concept cars are funkier than the cars they wind up producing, but I don't like either of those designs. The first one looks like some kind of PT Cruiser. The second one looks like a Mustang with a bad ground effects kit.

That second one is a AMG V12 biturbo, I saw one at Cars and Coffee in Irvine about two weeks ago.

Butt-effing ugly.

That's the opposite of butt-effing ugly.

The headlights remind me of the Cadillac line a bit, but the rest of those body lines look like something a Cub Scout could carve out of wood for a Pine-Wood Derby racer...no imagination and blocky as hell...

I think the designers at MB are getting lazy like the Big 3 designers have been for too long...and that's pretty sad...

That thing doesn't remind me of a Benz at all, regardless of the Star in the middle of the grill...

Put me down for ... Zero...not impressed at all...

The cabrio looks like someone took a Chrysler 300 and squashed it front to back into a 2 door. It's quite funky but, unfortunately, that's what sells now... The other one definately has Mustang-esque wheel arches.
