Hehe, I like it!
It’s a bit like “Aliens meets Mitsubishi but got attacked by Porche (the rear end) just before being crashed into by a Dodge (the bass-ackwards spoiler).
I like its organic/mechanical look, and I always admire a low-slung ride.
How much I would pay would depend on whether or not it was at least a “light/mild hybrid” capable of not burning fuel at traffic lights.
That’s my minimum requirement these days; at least until they begin installing “Mr. Fusion” in cars. If not, then I would probably not be interested.
To the Batmobile! Let’s go!
Ugh, Reventon wannabe.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
I wouldn’t pay anything for it.
Eeew! Looks like someone with more money than taste f**ked up a perfectly good Mercedes SL.
What perfomance ?
I’d buy for mmm… $50k
I’m rather impressed that someone figured out how to make one of the ugliest cars ever even worse.
Alfa Romeo wheels? Or Renault Fuego?
And those rubber door ding bumpers will be perfect for the mall parking garage.
Ace and Gary.
Enuff said.
I was going to say it would be something the Ambiguously Gay Duo would drive.
Let me check my files….yep, I sketched that car in junior high math…1957.
Who owns it? A more money than brains kinda guy.
No twenty-year old goddess is gonna hitch a ride in that thing. It isn’t even a convertible.
If that were a Hyundai or some Chinese make the styling would be clumsy and overwrought, and I would just assume that it looked that way because they couldn’t hire a decent design staff. However, it being a Mercedes, and a top of the line one at that, the message is ‘It looks this way on purpose’ so for whatever reason I kind of like it.
Not exactly the car for Bruce Wayne, but a quick slip down the Batpole, and you never know. IMO, car design has never been at such a low level. With the exception of Audi design, which has retained some taste and reserve, there’s not much out there to like.
The Japanese have long favored the Jet Jaguar school of bodywork (the latest Mazdas look like they’re from Toon Town), I never expected much from Detroit (and have not been disappointed), but I always thought the Germans would maintain a sense of aesthetic taste.
I’m pretty sure I’d pay a hundred bucks to not have to see a picture of that hideous thing ever again!

Theodore beat me to it, but:
Behold! The new Batmobile!
Someone already beat me to the Batmobile joke.
At least the kid painted it after he put on all the aftermarket plastic swoopy things.
They haven’t finished decorating yet. They still have the centre of the door and the roof to do.

2nd, and LOL!
Looks like someone grafted on a merc nose onto an RX-8 but lost the suicide door.
Worst of all worlds.
It’s OK, I just hope the aftermarket will offer a ground effects package, a VTEC sticker and just maybe a fartcan exhaust.
Speed Racer 2009.
