I’m seeing some pre-Chrysler Mercedes in this, it really speaks to me. Some cars are bricks, and they are bricks in style. Modern Mercedes could never.

I’ve probably saved so much money in my adult life since my childhood “dream” car manufacturer is just making uninspired and overpriced blobs now. Hyundai at least show they have their ears to the ground, even if this is just a concept.
