A little interesting

Couldn't be more dull than the ML!!! :twisted:
"The Mercedes GL will not remind you of another car"
Ummmm! CARS plural, more like; it looks like any number of the blooming things.
This is dire! These manufacturers are losing the plot. Still, all these suburban toys tend to create a spark of interest in the real thing amongst a more discerning minority, so may be it will pan-out in our favour yet, and our beloved "G" will live on. Who knows what will happen after five years.......?
Believe the Times to be somewhat mistaken - this obviously a picture of the new MLX, or not?
I like it, especially the rear
i like it. you have to think of it in terms of legislations. if the 460 was designed today it would never pass safety standards and all the eu bowlarks. (there was an article about the new xk jag and how the designer took his idea and then due to rules had to make it more ford mondeo shaped) its what a padestrian, cyclist, rare bird and sea turtle friendly g would look like.
i think what we dont like is that it will never become the legend our beloved g's are, its just a manafactured for mass car, its like comparing the sex pistols and the stones with backstreet boys and atomic kitten, they will never be the same.

p.s and a student will never afford one!
