As some may know, I'm a bit of a flow freak. Things have to work together to look good 99% imo. I'm not crazy about this thing as a whole, though the rear end looks much more upscale thanks to the symmetrical design with the taillights and the exhaust tips.

You're absolutely right. It does resemble the R-Class, especially the 3-d foglight housings.

The European version looks SOOO much better. The American version just looks cheap in comparison. Why do cars always get screwed up on the way to our shores?

I totally agree that the exhausts/taillights look cool. Overall I do prefer the front of the European version front looks better. I'm not exactly crazy about the car too, it feels like somethings missing. Maybe it'll look better in real-life though!

Some changes (you had to expect them, it's me ):

Before:

After:


- Added Europen front bumper. Much better than the US version, but even still it looks incomplete.
- Got rid of some chrome from front bumper.
- Headlights are wrapped around the grille a little more, they were spaced out and looked weird before.

Before:

After:


- Removed some chrome detailing from the lights and made the less protruding.
- spaced the exhausts further apart.
