Now you’re going too far. The car in the picture doesn't have the nice chrome wheels or anything. It’s the basic model. Once you see this car on the street your mind will change. Mb cars are not great on value but they always (well most of time) looks better than its competitors. MB (just make very attractive cars).

Styling is a very subjective matter. In my opinion the current MB products are not the best looking cars in every class. For example, BMW 5 series and Jaguar XF look better than the current E-class even equipped with AMG look.

I can agree with this statement. All the years I've been on this planet, I have yet to see or experience an ugly Mercedes product. We shall see if this trend continues..

I have to say that the R-Class is pretty ugly but the engine under the hood of the R-63 and some exterior enhancement make up for its ugliness.

Maybe the XF but I can't agree with the 5 series. The 5 series doesn't look upscale or eloquent to me. It's unique I can say that.

So you perfer to be seen in a Mazda vs Mb. Yet right

I wouldn't want to be seen in either of them. You asked what minivan looks better and IMO the 5 looks better than the R

Let see if I understand you clearly.

Among the most ugly vehicles on earth, you are asking me which vehicle is the least ugly right?
