Anyone seen the EDAG LUV (gl based)

I live in Geneva so went to the international car show last year and saw something amazing.
Here is the article I pulled off their internet site.
Based on the Mercedes GL, comes with a 6.1 Brabus 426hp engine, 0-60mph in 6sec

IMO its absolutely beautiful







Sorry if the pictures come out huge

It is supposed to be inspired by luxury yachts, that's why all that wood. The rear is a little too Cadillac EXT/ Honda Ridgeline for me. Not too crazy about the name either. Besides my 550 does 0-60 in 5.9sec.

I even hear the Methodist's and their "Open Hearts and Open Minds" wouldn't let the EDAG designers through their "Open Doors".

As HoustonRider says, EGAD indeed! Besides, the "LUV" badge on the tailgate brings back frightening memories of the Chevy Luv pickup truck. Anyone remember that one?

Yup, first thing I thought of. Then I had a vision of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from the Vacation movie.

Wow

Gosh - not sure what to say about that EGAD thing .. to sum up my opinion that's the rudest thing a person could do to a GL.

Dear Diary,

Today I cried. Someone killed a GL in Europe.

Oh well.

Jen, Wagon Queen Family Truckster...exactly the first thing I thought of...LOL! Except I'm afraid, Christie Brinkley wouldn't give that abomination a second look...
