Mercedes hässlicher SUV-Zwerg – designt auf LSD?

Der Mercedes GLK ist eine fürchterliche, rollende Handtasche – ein Auto, bei dem mir sofort übel wird. Ich kann kaum in Worte fassen, wie sehr mir das Design stinkt. Glücklicherweise ist Dan Neil von der Los Angeles Times nicht ganz so sprachlos. Hier die schönsten Auszüge aus seinem Verriss:

“The exterior is a veritable food fight of odd angles and curious proportions, fender swells and dissonant accent lines, and all of it buttoned by a hilariously oversized, nay, desperate grille.

The GLK suggests nothing less than a Dadaist collage of the company’s styling portfolio pasted onto a matchbox.”

“I understand Gorden Wagener was trying to synthesize the blustery outdoor looks of the vast GL and the C-class compact sedan, upon which the GLK is mechanically based. I say leave the synthesizing to Dr. Hofmann.”

“Acura RDX, Infiniti EX35, Land Rover LR2, the new VW Tiguan … Any and all are prettier than the GLK, in the way Einstein was smarter than his dog.”
