Professionals may see this as proof that I am going legally blind but I believe the CLK was uglier. That birth mound on the CLK's nose just did it for me. This car isn't far behind though.

Looking at the pics again, that tailpipe cluster makes the car look like it has hemorroids. Or that it should be scooting its butt on the carpet at the very least.

I will say that it is a huge mess, but I am impressed that someone took the time to make a 6 head light set up and make the lines on the hood match, A for effort F- for taste

Shaped like a manatee, but that is doing an injustice to manatees. We should get a petition going asking the designer to cease and desist in ever picking up a drawing pencil and send it to Lion Motorsports.

Some more of their "design" gems...
