Audi rip-off: GL-class facelift

[blue8]

I don't usually post stuff on model facelifts unless significant changes have been made. Rappers would love this :-? Looks horrid!

The facelifted version of the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class will get an all-new front end featuring a very large grille with a with an equally massive Mercedes star in the middle, as indicated by our latest spy photos. Due for launch early next year — most likely at the Detroit Motor Show in January — the new GL can be seen with virtually no disguise in these photos from the streets of Stuttgart, Germany. The bold styling seems to be geared toward buyers of the Lincoln Navigator or Cadillac Escalade — two vehicles that don't make any scarifies in the grille size department. The seven-seater is currently produced at the Daimler's plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

How can you associated this ugly Merc SUV with a pig nose to the look of an Audi ?

WOW! You can fit a small car through that grill!

A face lift already? Wow...anyways, the grill looks nasty in pictures, but we'll see when it comes out.

Ugly Audi like nose. But at least Audi can do it right on some cars.

I saw one in real life and it is worse than you can ever see in the pictures.
