I wouldn't turn one down, but I really don't like it much. We'll see how it performs but it could be the funniest looking supercar ever.
Why would anyone ever pick this car over say a Zonda?

Maybe radical, but I don't know about funky, the pic I posted is a Zonda if you didn't realize. I think the Merc lacks symetry, it looks like someone put it in a stretching machine :p

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Is it just me, or is that Merc pretty Fugly! (strike that - Fugly Ugly) My eyes see what looks like an all dressed up DRAGSTER (Mostly engine cover, with a small space in the back for passengers), with way to much front overhang (like a Chrylser piece of junk) but all fussied up kinda like a James Bond Aston Martin of old, but then with a NOSE like JIMMY DUANTE (stuck on). Now there is nothing really WRONG with HIS nose, but on a car (or dragster)??
The from the back pic is the nicest view, but would you want to own a car that you told friends to stand back - IN THE BACK, just to get a decent looking look?
Actually the Aston looks Sooooo much better. Really! :D

Dunno, but that is one butt ugly car. I'd take a Zonda or a koni anytime. That front end has to be one of the ugliest I have seen.
I do like the inside though :D

Its biggest flaw it that it only comes with an automatic transmission. In my opinion, no car can be called a super car with an automatic tranny. You might be able to control which gear you are in with the mecr, but as long as it runs through a torque converter than I don't want it.

If I had 350k to spend on a car...
1.) I'd go buy 2 FordGTs
2.) bring my closest friend along
3.) find someone with the SLR
4.) find out what time he leaves his house every morning
5.) wait for him up the street
6.) blow his doors off every morning to make him realize what a moron he is
7.) then go buy 2 Lotus Elises with the leftover money

THe aston martin is my choice but i can only go for the vantage v8 ($APPROX 230,000 Australian)
version , not the more expensive vanquish v12
The vantage v8 will be made into a GT(MORE HP AND SPORTS HANDLING SUSPENSION ) as well as a convertable VOLANTE with a 6speed manual.
I am the proud owner of plates :A M V 0 8. SLIMLINE
