The wheels look like they were inspired by an old Jag Soverign (sp?).

That's the worst looking car I've ever seen. It looks like a cross between a 1995 Mazda MX-6 and a Mercedes-Benz CL500. With the ugliest wheels possible...

Yeah, I thought the rear lights were Mazda inspired myself.

The body is too unconventional for Mercedes to ever consider. The shape moves too far away from their normal designs.

Anyway, how the hell do you steer? With the joystick? I'd probably use a mouse if i had it my way. Or maybe a keyboard.
