SportCoupe's designer is very stupid !

well if i suppose that they didnt think about orange color, i would forgive them....
but once u c that they made a coupe prototype with that color, they must have noticed how good it looks, it was just so stupid not to get that color into production... knowing that many coupe colors are just ugly as hell....

facelift that, add a spoiler, blacked out grill and some black 19"s.. and uve got one amazing coupe !

You realize, of course, that this car pictured was made specifically for crash testing....right?

What colors are you referring to as "ugly"? Personally, some aren't my taste - but others revel in their uniqueness.

Hey the designers were smart as hell if you ask me. Most advanced car in it's class for the time, and safest too.

Though....you would have to be a DUMMY to drive this particular car.

Forgive me, but isn't that ugly orange color often specific to crash test vehicles? I'm not sure WHY they paint them that color, but it seems that sometimes they do. Maybe to decrease the chance someone steals the car before it's crash tested?! Maybe so debris shows up better on the high speed when it crashes?

YOUR SLK? Dude, we all know it was your Mom's.
BTW- Nice sig. Beats the hell out some of the one's you've had.
Still running orange side markers?
30 bucks will get you clear ones with stealth bulbs. A nice little improvement for little $$$.
Did you get my PM about the Census hiring for 25 bucks an hour? No experience or degree necessary. Mo money fo da coupe.
