When I was growing up I dreamed of one day becoming a car designer. I have always had a passion for automotive styling and design. Over recent years I have been watching the automotive industry crank out some really nasty designs, such as the Pontiac Aztek and pretty much anything from Dodge/Chrysler. But blunders like this don't stop at average consumer cars, the long arm of -Pete- bad design can affect some of the world's greatest automakers.
The Mercedes-Benz/McLaren SLR is an example of this. It's styling has bothered me since it's introduction in 2003, so I took it upon myself to tweak it's design...
One SIMPLE alteration to the design and it makes this car look so much better. Mercedes-Benz/McLaren are supposed to be some of the finest car manufacturers in the world, yet somehow, somewhere during the design process of the SLR McLaren, this ultimate supercar got smacked with a huge ass
schnoz. Way to ruin a perfectly good car,
IDIOTS!
How is it that a half million dollar supercar, that was developed for half a decade, rolled off the production line looking like that? No one protested during it's conception?? If I were in the market for a supercar, I'd rather put my money down on a
Carrera GT. At least Porsche's designers know what style is.
