Good Lord......what senior engineer said "yah, that will do"

I think the Grand Cherokee/Wrangler guys and the ML guys need a break from their group pokah/drinking bonding meetings, lol!

I think it will look better in person........maybe. That one's hard to tell.......I'm not a big fan of the "fender flares" on the new ML's and the new S Class...........they look like they're bolted on, rather than formed with the car..........

Thing is Huckfeldt is almost always right. There have been many rumors that he actually see's the design proposals and that BMW & Mercedes let him do his sketches to gauge initial market reaction and create buzz for upcoming products...

To me it screams...JEEP LIBERTY.

Lets see how close he will be on the X5 pics he provided .

MB got more n more the touch of Chrysler in the SUV IMO
propably to sell more of those in the US market

I don't think it's bad, but it's no trend setter either. Evidently the automakers have taken sheet metal stamping to new heights; complex angles and creases everywhere except the roof seems to be the trend.

looks alright but definately too boxy. The front windshield is like stait up. Looks alot like the new jeeps. makes sense since they designed the new jeeps too.
