Let me be the first of us traditionalists to go on record about this car  - -

THAT IS THE UGLIEST WHEELED THING I HAVE EVER SEEN ! ! !

It looks like some slobbering mutant creature from the ALIENS movie trilogy.

Please let's all agree - - DO NOT CALL THAT THING A PAGODA!

Must sign off- - sick to my stomach - -  Larry in CA

The styling looks like Robocop on steroids..... And speaking of Robocop, remember the vehicle in that movie? The 6000 SUX?

But their hats are nice, right?  Wouldn't that style go just great in our W113s?

Perhaps not cheap, but Plastic Gizmos, that's what they are!
I prefer a real Pagoda - even with a little bit of rust  ;)

(1)The passengers look like conehead aliens.
(2)The geometry/appearance of those wheels/suspension looks like the car might be pretty stable with sharp corners at insane speed.
(3)It looks absurd.

I kind of like it.  Would look nice parked next to the pagoda. Yesterday and tomorrow.

Hmm, don't like it either, looks like a nightmare to drive in the rain, with no wheel arches...

I am sure they could do a nicer job if they wanted to really revamp the pagode...I guess I just like classics more than modern cars...

No, it's not supposed to be a Pagoda, Paul is pulling your leg.  The car is several years old.
