I've seen worse. I remember a lime green CL500 with glitter. Imagine that.

That E and the SL don't look bad. The rest on the other hand... yeesh!

Why spend so much on a paint job for the S-Class, but not some descent wheels???

At least it's one color.

Have you seen the leopard-print colored Jaguar XK?

I thought the SL looked ok.

The E55 looks like a crash-test car lol. It just needs those circle sensors and some crash test dummies.

I really like the orange E Class, then again I drive an orange car

The TT deserves that pink

And I never realized how truly ugly the Maybach is until I saw it in that blue

Im assuming I saw that exact car at the Jaguar dealer down the street from my house.

And that poor Maybach looks like a cab or something...

I remember seeing a vile (looked like metallic green/orange) on C230 once and they were charging top dollar for it, quite painful.
