    So. What.
    A cataclysmal failure aesthetically; a hideous van has crap in it that you don't need in a van, along with 426hp, which is completely unnecessary in a van, and an espresso machi... fark it. This is like a caricature of excess.

    and author "but it's definitely good to see a totally insane luxury car tricked out without giant flames on the sides."

    1. This isn't "tricked out" it's got a bunch of unnecessary gadgets from best buy crammed in.

    2. As opposed to your run-of-the-mill luxury car with giant flames on it that we're always inundated with? That makes no sense. Cars with giant flames on the sides are typically hot-rods, not luxury cars (which this is not, it's a freaking van with home appliances in it), and a hot-rod with any of this crap in it would be anathema.

    Does Brabus make anything that people will actually buy? Everything they make seems to be some outlandish concept for show purposes.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: As long as they've been around, they must, or else someone is looking to leave their remains in a secluded freezer by now, or it's just some crazy old man hemorrhaging his money for fun.

    Wasn't Barabus the guy who stabbed Jesus with the spear?

    @FritzLaurel: Barabbas was the man sentenced to crucifixion, but was then considered against Christ for his freedom, which is believed to have occurred during a Passover, in which its prevailing custom allowed the praefectus of Judea to place the choice of the fate of a prisoner to the crowd, in this case, they chose freedom for the insurrectionist Barabbas instead of Christ. Longinus was the Roman soldier thought to have speared Jesus in the side (hence the Lance of Longinus, which was also a reference used in Neon Genesis Evangelion since the Japanese love Christian symbolism (for you fans out there)). Barbie is the downfall of self esteem.

    @jabber: Ken isn't gay. Ken is simply ill-equipped. His permanent smile masks the terrible agony of never knowing a woman's touch, or even the simple pleasure of being able to aim at a urinal.

    @bill cant fart: Hipsters have no problem with extravagant things. They wear expensive clothing, buy expensive food, and are more willing to pay ridiculous prices that some taxi services will charge to take a trip that would be 10 minutes by subway.

    I hope Mercedes goes out of their mind and prices this at $9.99.

    there's never any uproar when it is suggested that someone consume a legal substance to enhance their performance.


    if this thing showed a coke spoon or a meth pipe, people'd be all up in arms but it's like, you know it's just a symbol - coke spoon icon doesn't mean you HAVE to rail a couple lines, just, you know, do something about your rogginess.

    Anybody driven the new 450+ hp 6.2L V8 C63 AMG? An "axe-murderer" with headlights, Jeremy Clarkson called it. So, "Attention Assist" or not, I'm uncertain as how "safe" some Mercedes models can actually be :)
