what will happen to car design ..what is happening to car design ..peugeot keep comeing out with the most ugly looking things on 4 wheels, as well as other companies....but merc ... god help us!

Mercedes' Sea-Class

omething fishy is going on at Mercedes! Believe it or not, the firm claims it has modelled its latest creation on the tropical boxfish, in an attempt to discover the perfect vehicle shape.

Engineers turned to nature in order to find a design that was both aerodynamic and safe -

and the boxfish fitted the bill. A scale model was produced, and when it was wind tunnel tested, bosses discovered it was the most aerodynamic shape ever built on four wheels. The concept is called The Bionic Car, and was unveiled at Mercedes' innovation symposium in Washington DC.

:eek:

That is hideous. That makes me scared for what cars will look like in 25 years time... :thumbdwn:

Might have to keep the Furby forever

Looks like a dolphins head.

Boxfish are cool, but they should stay in the sea.

Never, ever, ever make a car that looks like that. It's a disgrace.

I can remember the fuss made about the ford sierra when that first came out but it looks like a normal car now

Good on Mercedes !!!

Remember all those wacky cars that appear each year from the Japanese at the Tokyo motorshow ? It at least shows there's some creative thinking going on.

Sea Class ! Actually, what's left as A B C E G M R S V have all gone now

[Leon-y-k]

Noooo lol its not its on auto express site!!!! i would never creat such a mess!!! :(

Hold on, it's a 0.19Cx (drag coefficient) people carrier, not a sportscar. So I see no problem, on the oposite, it might not look great, but it has a strong point for what it is: aerodynamics.

i prefer paying some extra euros for gasoline because of worse aerodynamics, and have a more decent shape on my expensive mercedes
