Is it just me or....

Looking at Waynes new pics from the LA Auto Show, I get to that Mercedes SLR McLaren and (IMHO) it just looks plain ugly. Way to much hood, small wheels in relation to the body, and I believe people were comparing this to the Gullwing??? On a drag strip maybe but I'd be afriad to head up 101 with this. And Jay leno picked up one these as well as a new Porsche GT and Ford GT 40!! the same week!. Sorry to go off on a rant.

It actually looks pretty badass in person. All the pictures I've seen don't do the SLR justice, it has presence when you see it in the flesh. I do agree with you that the wheels are probably the worst part of the exterior. Some clean 5-spokes would go a long way toward making it nicer.

At the end of the day, if you had the SLR, GT and C-GT in the garage I'd be willing to bet you'd grab the keys to the SLR much more often than the other two simply because it's much more streetable. It's not on the floor like the C-GT and much easier to get in and out of than both the C-GT and Ford.

I vote ugly.
