yes but nobody´s gonna know that, everybody´s gonna think that you riced it...because it looks rice, even if it`s not...you`re gonna spend a whole lot of money for a car that everyone will think is rice...so that`s uncool..

So I guess a wide body E46 M3 will be considered rice-looking?
I know what u are tyring to say, but I don't think the bodykit and the wing is overly aggressive.....u know, compared to real-rice Damn, I am definitely not having that for dinner tonite

not everything's functional, the big air intakes in front of the rear wheels are fake.

Wow - for once Mercedes Benz were on the right track with something. Then they had to keep it 1700kg+ and add a convertible version. Used to be cool now its just a wankermobile. Uncool.

One of the few cool mbs. The convertible one though is a bit disturbing.

i say uncool it takes like 5 minutes to say the name and any car with a name that has 9 letters and doesnt spell a word is just a pain.

According to you guys, I guess my 'stock' SLK 55 must also look 'riced' since it looks so unlike Mercedes. eh?

So it's ok for a Lambo or Zonda to look rice, but not a MB. So MB should stay with a concervative car look and continue to sell to the 60 year old adults? Does this mean that they're not allowed to explore the market and try to make some 'wilder' cars in the hopes of attracting a different group of potential buyers?

Whatever you guys say :roll:

there is only one problem with this car.... it is now fitted with an automatic :x

take the best mercedes currently lined up, and fuck it up.... here you go!

sure its the slr automatic... but as will all autoboxes, Gmail! (LMAO) to bad its near sub-zero everywhere else... turned to just slightly chilled beer that's just partially enjoyable
