seems like they did the rears as well...FAIL I say. The 2nd gen SC has got a pretty face but an ugly ***, so they need to do something about that.

I'd say this one a a botched job

If that is photoshopped those are some mad skills. He even got the reflections to line up perfectly!

It looks like a Mercedes SL. It looks stubby and out of poportion. If it was sized to scale (realistically) then it'd probably look cool. I give one thumb up and one thumb down.

Not a Mercedes. Mercedes does not use square door handle dimples on any model. That hood isn't LS either. Whatever it is, they should kill it before it breeds. If it's Photoshop, shame on the guy who took the time to do it. That is a butt-ugly vehicle.
