Nice to see Mercedes is copying the Hyundai Sonata’s rear end. Great going, guys. Merc has lost its way design-wise and dependability wise

Sorry Jonmiles, I didn’t mean to call you “nobody”, when in fact, it’s just the opposite.

Perfect vehicle for the Bank Execs that got all of our money from the government and don’t want to lend it out. They need this because the general public wants to kill them all!!!!

The guy who designed those headlights probably bought the first one to roll off the line.
I watched a show about armored cars on the science channel. There is a truck that has pepper spray and a grenade launcher on the roof. No joke. You have to have a fingerprint ID scan to operate the weapons system.

@ Fit19:

Because this is for a real purpose in the same way the GT3 RS doesn’t use all glass windows for a reason.

And I laughed at “piece of mind”. Spell check is a wonderful revolution guys.

On a more serious note, it looks darn good in black.

So Mercedes gets a free pass if they want to use polycarbonate windows, but everyone pounces on Hyundai for using it for a single window on the Tuscon concept?

it’s more like there are more and more wars going on out there, not talking about the wars between countries. More like now you have to understand the the crisis has also hit the prices of street gangs, underworld organizations, conglomerate pushers from weapons to drugs to trafficking of all sorts. The gas prices and land prices and all other prices have gone up, which result in heftier prices for the sort of things they do. This then turns it into the opportunity of a lifetime to take out competition who can’t keep up with the times we are all at now. They can “lay-off” some of their workers to lower costs, “cut” production lines and maybe even delay “new products” until everything settles down. What’s that saying? Where there is a war, there is money to be made? I mean, it looks like the crisis sure is giving some a pusher of pain, while for others it’s given them opportun moments. MB sure has found it’s opportunity here.

I wonder what the curbweight is?

And what happens when you accidentally slam your finger in the door?

Do you even feel it when you are rear ended?

Ever see the eye of a tornado? If not then maybe the Pano-roof is a good option

This car should be standard issue to our troops in Afganistan. Im sick of seeing body bags coming home from IEDs.
Either that… or GTFO

Needs more GM on it. Then it can withstand economic downturn using tax payer money.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to ride around in an R Class? Even your enemies would probably think you’ve been punished enough.

Funny Borat.

Serious fun in crime ridden South Africa about the flame throwers, they are mounted under the body at the doors. Carjacker comes up and you “flame on”. They run away with an ouchy.

That’s pretty sweet… still can’t handle rifle rounds though. So I guess i’ll be keeping my AK-47 afterall.

Who’s going to buy these? Oh yeah, the only ones that can afford them, the bankers that STOLE our tax dollars and need protection from angry mobs. (not bitter)..
