I am a big car fan, and I love fish, but I have no idea why Mercedes would build a car that looks this bad. Of all the fish in all the oceans of the world, they picked one of the silliest looking fish I can think of. As far as looks are concerned, they may have well based this car on a mud skipper, or a cardboard box. From what I understand, the idea was to build a hydrodynamic car, which is a great idea if your drive you car in the water - but who does that? If you ask me, designing a car after a fast predatory fish may be a better idea. On a good note, the concept car will do an amazing 84 mpg a constant 56mph. Why dont they design cars like the 1977 Aston Martin Vantage anymore?
