Mercs are overall very disappointing at the moment, i think the 190es were one of the best looking cars years ago but lately they've got a weird rounded style which just looks shit.

Hideous, but the X4 and X6 aren't exactly lookers.
4x4 coupe : bad idea. 4x4 convertible : very, very bad idea.

Quite what JLR think they are doing with an Evoque cabrio (except for taking money from balloon-lipped clowns from Essex) is beyond me |

It is being replaced by a non coupe version tomorrow (read - facelifted ML also called GLE) which will be much better for putting 2 boisterous spaniels in boot!! Last edited by isleaiw; 04-20-2016 at 06:59 AM.. Reason: beat the grammar police - too not to |

not just me being critical then. I think the X6 would be classed a more attractive.
the one I followed had whopping great wheels on it too, for some reason it reminded me of this (even though there are no huge wheels)  I work right next door to a Benz dealership, so see some great looking cars coming and going, but also some utter sh!te. |

The problem is there are many out there with absolutely no taste, so such cars will sell.
Also people with more money than any sense of taste. Idiots who get themselves into debt to drive one to show off in front of the family and neighbours. People who listen to the mainstream music and watch mainstream crap in the tv  So the car will sell.

An AMG one passed me this evening and I also couldn't believe how vulgar it was. I was on my boxster and the size of the thing was ridiculous.
I'm no X6 fan but this is definitely more vulgar.

Its a bloody horrific looking thing but is it so much worse than an RRS, Discovery, ML, X5,4,3 etc?
Imo they have all fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down  |

They miss the practicality of an SUV and they aren't sporty so why try to look like a coupe. In the end they just look bloated with a huge arse!

Not practical, not sporty, wont go off road. A niche that doesnt exist. Except people buy them so it must. The coupe GLE is being replaced by a normal square back one today so can report back after weekend on difference... starting with being able to put two stupid spaniels in the boot of the practical one... |

The niche's are just ridiculous, its ruining cars. Just spend more on dev work for core cars!
Also while I'm ranting, 4 series is a little too big, 2 series a little too small......guess what used to be perfect........3 series coupe. The 2 has been shrunk and 4 stretched specifically to create segment difference. Wahhhh! I just all used to work.
