Hence the term "concept"

Kinda eerie looking...like something that would be at home in the movie "iRobot"!

If the window line picked up where the front fender line left off it wouldn't look too bad.

A turbocharged 1.8L that generates 238 bhp and 40 mpg (in an S-Class like chassis) has some interesting potential . . .

The front reminds me alot of a cadillac, and the rear reminds me of an Asian SUV, and that is not a compliment for either part of the globe.
I do like the rims, not sure about the skirts...they're bound to get filthy and all scratched up pretty quick.
And what is all that "stuff" all over the upholstery? Perhaps a nice way to cover up imperfections in lower quality leather?

The DiesOtto engine has been in the news for months. In addition to variable cam timing, it also has variable compression ratios.

Why suicide doors on only one side?

Front fenders remind of an EVO II.

The design has potential. But in its currant form not so.


I don't like the massive grill look, but that seems popular these days.

hm i dno. it definately has potential. that thing is HUGE. did you see the room in the back seat?

yes i did wonder why only one side suicide doors. Would be pretty badass on both sides.

with some refinement i think it would make a cool MB.
