They must have parked it in Baltimore over night.
RTFA it is about the “future engine” not the car
2 ghm101,
Don’t tell JCD what to do. He purposefully ignores facts for sensationalism…
This using the concept the Mythbusters demonstrated in one of their last episodes, where the dimpling of the car produced higher fuel efficiency, similar to how a golf ball works. It was a 10% increase in efficiency if I remember. However, it doesn’t look that great, I must admit.
#4, Does that mean I shouldn’t have the hail damage on my car fixed??? 🙂
ALL cars are ugly nowadays, if you haven’t noticed.
I have a 2008 Mercedes E350 that I’m leasing. I hate the newer version. I’m gonna see if I can extend the lease on the one I have now.
I hope Dvorak is posting in jest and realizes all car makers disguise their future cars in this manner.
No uglier than the average Nazi car.
looks like a mustang
mad max car for the future that is comming
Named,
Don’t tell 2 ghm101 not to tell JCD what to do when you obviously and purposefully ignore the fact of JCD’s satire and sarcasm for your own sensationalism…
Huh??
it looks to me like a cross between a corvette and a cadillac XLR. bet its not as inexpensive, though….
It comes in yellow and orange, with a cream beige interior, for the US market.
Mercedes have become overly plasticized, overly computerized, and horrendously expensive to maintain long term. Same with BMW.
Mercedes peaked with W123 turbo diesels, and BMW peaked with E36 3 series(maybe even earlier).
Those older German cars will still be knocking around in the third world when the current generation have all gone.
Give me 250hp and good torque. Give me leather seats and wood paneling. And give me an engine made of metal bits and rubber hoses that will outlast the frame.
The new ones are gods to graves in 5 years.

I’m sensational? WOW! Thanks!
Sort of reminds me of a Dodge Avenger.
“Why are you putting holes in your car?”
“Speed holes. They make the car go faster.”
MAD MAX!!
Mel Gibson edition
It’s an SL… I had a 2002… I’m going to look for another 2002/3 AMG
Then new corrugated aluminum body looks good. Finally a Mercedes that matches my trailer, this car has pussy wagon written all over it. Can’t wait to strap a deer carcass to that hood. Yep, this baby’s gonna’ make dem’ girls in the trailer park moist fer’ sure.
I worked in a Benz dealership for years. They are very reserve in their styling. Mostly because they have some very loyal customers. Its much like that with any luxury car.
It is a transformer!
Wait… I thought they got rid of Chrysler…?
I was able to find the production version and not merely the engineering test model:
This is no the final look… it’s cladded during the beta/testing phase.
see this for more.
That’s right. We see these pictures all the time in European car magazines:
They test drive prototypes in heavily disguised conditions so the photo-snipers can’t have a clue of the final look. Nonetheless, Toyota and some corean brands can always come up with the almost exact knock-up Benz, BMW or Opel look every season…

what’s corean?

You don’t know John C very well at all. If you think every time he makes a stupid post or shows he’s clueless, that it’s satire or sarcasm, he has fooled you beautifully.
28, If I recall correctly, there are Koreans who object to the spelling with the “K” since this came about during their Japanese occupation. Prior to Japanese occupation, Korea was spelled as Corea in English texts. When Japan invaded Korea, they disliked the fact that the “C” in Corea preceded the “J” in Japan so they pushed heavily to have the spelling changed to “Korea” instead.
It’s stuck ever since then.
