This SCL is very close to the famous Trasco SEC:

you are a no talent ass clown with far too much time on your hands. stop assaulting our eyes with your **** and do something more worthwhile, like working to fight poverty. passing out free meals needs no photoshop skills, and since you have none, it would be a perfect fit.

“Or is it jealousy perhaps? Maybe THIS guy really IS renowned and got his picture on LLN!”

I am successful enough in my “real life” to not be jealous of some guy who he gets exposure on an internet website. Sure it’s nice, and I’d like it as well of course, but it’s not jealousy.
My opinion is that this post is so totally superfluous. This design will never be a production car, it’s just a fantasy of some weird guy with design skills.
I am reading this site to get the latest car news, and this is NOT car news.

So again, if I pick up Photoshop and quickly put some designs together, will I get exposure here as well? (For anyone who doesn’t see it, this is sarcasm.)

Genius!

They have the 4-door S-Class, then they do a 2-door S-Class… the CL. And why not do a 4-door CL? Amazing stuff!

Porsche should follow the same thinking and do a soft-top Cayman. They could tell us they’d created a new niche. What a waste of time.

Photoshops suck, by the way.

I completely agree with Guttersludge. How is anything you guys are saying going to help ANYONE?!?! I think his stuff is pretty cool, and he must be something right if he’s getting recognition.

I think it looks good I wonder if they could change the front for a standard S-class

Guttersludge — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 06:05:47 +0000

And for the record, I don’t like it either. But then, I’m not a Merc fan.

Yo André – how about a ‘SCL’ CC? Or a fastback? Or a Ute?

That would be fun

com’on guys, let’s give Andre some credit. he is not claiming to be this ’star’ car designer here. also, while all of you can also ‘try’ to do photoshop renderings after proper training and exercise, at least he put lots of effort puting these together. while i do not agree with many of designs and ideas, I do APPRECIATE his ENTHUSIASM and HARD WORK. all i have to say is just keep up the good work!!! (watch proportion, design language…)

Nice photoshop pic but,Mercedes Benz already has a 4 door CL, It’s called an S-class.

Hey Andre,

Same crap you post over at AutoWeek’s Combustion Chamber.

Listen, bud, ya know Photoshop…a little.

I have a crew of people pumping that level of digital mods all day and your stuff is merely average.
You come across as a nice person with the ability to chop and afford a website, but you are not a car designer. Post one completely ORIGINAL car design…front 3/4, rear 3/4, side packaging view, plan view and interior renderings and maybe we will stop laughing at your Photoshop “dress-ups”!!!

Munich?

Oh btw, if I learn how to use Photoshop and do some “artist renderings” of cars, can I also get some exposure here?

By: Arne

Arne — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 22:55:48 +0000

Ok, I rarely post here in the comments, but this time I just can’t resist. What is so interesting about some guy’s weird thoughts of how some car should look that will most likely never be a production car?

I went through that guy’s website and I was like “wtf” all the time. Come on, a Maybach Van?

WHO CARES?

Hi Mr Mkbruin!

What’s wrong about the car in your oppinion? Design was a request from a british coachbuilder who plans to build such a car for a customer. We are thinking of modifying a W221 with the front end of the CL216. Or we could do it the other way. It depends on some technical things. Let’s see how they decide.

What are you doing over there? I heard about Pasadena, myself studied in Geneva and Munich years ago.

Best,
André

Nice job. Would be nice in white.

By: MKBruin

MKBruin — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 22:17:33 +0000

Hey Daniel is your real name Andre?
Actually i studied at Art Center Pasadena and I am able to design cars.
Thank goodness teh W221 doesn’t look like it does in the “artists” (and I use that term very loosely) rendering

By: Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 22:13:57 +0000

I hope that MKbruin knows how to design a car. Can we see some of your work? Or are just a cheater?

Excellent sleek and elegant car. That’s how the W221 could have looked liked.

There would be no need for this car, there is already an S-class and CLS. To add another car would just eat the sales from either car.
