Talking Better R-Class

After two recent Mercedes-Benz sedan purchases (see signature), my partner and I have come to the realization we can't do without an SUV. So, we headed to the dealership today to take a close look at the R350.

As we sit home tonight, we have read a ton of critisism online about the R's looks and how it reminds a lot of people of a hearse. And, I thought, what could make the R look better? So I pulled out my trusty Photoshop, went online and pulled a headlight from here and a taillight from there and look what I came up with!!!

IMHO, the R all of a sudden came to life

Jose

P.S. In case you were wondering, I used squished S550 headlights and upside down Q7 tailights.

first pic looks like the A Class.

Anyway, I thin the sharp drop of the roof line in rear creates the "hearse image".
