LOL!!! That should be illegal. Looks like the guy couldn't make up his mind on what car to buy! RSX front end and Benz rear end on what looks to be a CRX body! GROSS! Don't yu just love the scoop on the roof? All that cool air being forced into the engine that resides in the back of the car! How ingenious!

I dub thee RICE!

As much as everyone is going to hate on this car... I like the way the rear COULD'VE looked if done on a C230.

The SLK taillights (are they not?) might look good on a hatchback if more effort was done to properly mold the hatch area rather than just chop it to fit the tails.

Also the tails seem to be set too far forward and out too far, if you look at the side pic they wrap around the side too much, and if you look at the rear pic, the line falling down the side from the rear of the hatch doesn't hit the point of the top of the taillight...

Its actually not that bad a job if he had spent more time getting the lines of the car to flow together... but still... its rice.

What a way to ruin a beautiful car (the crx, not the mb). Crxes are getting harder to find all of the time; that owner deserves to have his or her car taken from them.

Taylor - can you imagine how bad the rearward view would be if you did the ccoupe's back end like that car? It's bad enough as-is.

I see those kind of cars alot where I live. You could have an Integra front and a Acura Vigor back. Any kind of combination is possible. I wonder what exactly is that car. Is it a Benz or a RSX. You've got to admit that it looks hot.

It's a CRX body with RSX headlights and Benz tails. Looks like its got a Civic Si B16a under the hood.
