[W126 Coupe] Now this is REALLY something!

[richard jaffe]

Looks like the MB stylists have been overly influenced by the "pimp my ride" mentality as promoted on shows like Unique Whips on Speed Channel. The focus group apparently consisted of NBA players and Rap/Hip Hop "artists". Just goes to show how good the SEC design really is - thanks Bruno Sacco.

    Very retro looking. The ass-end of the car reminds me of a '58 caddy Biarritz with the lines of a Pontiac grand prix

    The joystick speaks for itself.

            Look at all the pictures--do you think you can drive it?

            The new Benz - Very different....really different!...SCROLL DOWN... 
            This is the new Mercedes Benz SCL600: 




            This car is really different...

            That's not what is different about it... < /SPAN>
            That either... 

            ! ! 

            ....and now for the 'really different' part: 

            Here is what is different....NO STEERING WHEEL!!! 




            That's right, NO STEERING WHEEL --- you drive it with a joystick!
            No pedals either!!! Do you think you can drive with a joystick? 
            Our kids probably can. The influence of video games in our lives 
            has truly arrived, wouldn't you say?
