I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the R Class!!! It's not a bad car by any means, but its just a waste of time (development wise) and rather pointless when the same could have been achieved with either the ML or the GL (not sure if theres an option for 7 seats).

I was going to mention the R class, but i have seen a lot more of them on the roads in the past few weeks so that changed my mind. There are families out there who wants to buy a car like the R Class. MB didn't waste that much time developing it because it is pretty much based on the ML/GL platform.

It was a tough decision but i picked the PT Cruizer/bucket on wheels because a convertible is suppose to look good...the PT Cruizer looks like a bucket of sh*t

Funny and true.
They should have named it the Citroën IKEA; after all the owners probably spend hours taking the roof up and down

I would say any French vehicle.

Oh, we've just got a brand new entrant, the spectacularly dubious Mini Clubman.

It'll be a smash hit in Hollywood - as a hearse for spoilt celebrity-pet funerals.

But it's the Clubman that actually make sense.

Can't say that there isn't a good portion of truth in that statement.

^^Very true. Glad we dont get french cars in the US.

El Zorro · 07-27-2007, 04:03 PM

^^ Mmm, I think French cars aren't as bad as some of them used to be

But still, the Citroën C3 and Pluriel seem to be completely built from plastic..
