What sucks is that MB even managed to tarnish McLaren's image with that car.
Personally, I like the SLR-nose on it. IMO, that part gives the SLR some character. It also looks fantastic on the R171 SLK.

How did the SLR tarnish McLaren's image? By all accounts, the engineering that went into this car is fantastic and high-tech. If anything, the joint-venture between MB and McLaren showed what can be produced if two great companies cooperate.
