Hideous.

Offended.

Why do some premium (gauche) manufacturers/brands insist on leaving their sense of taste on the cutting room floor when designing a new product ?

Look at those rear seats - what is the point of being able to lie down in an off-road vehicle ?

Tasteless and pointless. That'll be an obscene amount of money please sir.

I like it.

Tengocity · 11-22-2019, 02:40 PM

I think the X7 is quite handsome overall!

Lincoln61 · 11-22-2019, 10:15 PM

Holy Fuck!

I think the X7 is fantastic and will one day visit a showroom for a proper look. This, however, is pretty grim and messes up the reasonable looking GLS. I guess they know their target market though - which is very far removed from our reality.

I thought Watsey’s gauche comment hit the nail on the head.

I'm sure there will be a few of these kicking about in Mayfair.

I think most Mercedes are tasteless and chintzy, but boy have they out done themselves there....

I love the X7 though.

What on earth is that mesh lower front grille all about?

Looks like a disposable BBQ
