Saab 9-X Concept vs Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo

First of all, let me just say I’ve always been a fan of the awkward looking Porsche Panamera. The new Sport Turismo Concept version turns an outstanding but strange looking car into something simply outstanding. I think it looks incredible and I’m sure it would be just as amazing to drive.

As I watched the video below, however, I couldn’t help but think of one Michael Mauer’s earlier concepts, the Saab 9-X.

Maybe it’s just me, but watch for yourself.

I’m not sure what I think the similarities are. They’re everywhere. Just cues, not outright transfer, but they’re there. That’s for sure.

Step right up! Your giant Mercedes ute is now ready!

Mercedes Benz have released a new, giant-sized utility vehicle for the world market.

The first man to take ownership is circus ringmaster, Waxmo Starsh, pictured below (sans top-hat and tails) alongside a statue of Pope Benedict XVI.

“This ute is perfect. The clear canopy over the rear tray means I know exactly where my tools are, or what rubbish I’m taking to the tip. There’s plenty of room. As you can see, I’ve already loaded a very large chair in there to take to the dump and it still looks basically empty. I was thinking about offloading this statue, too, but he can stay in the garden a little longer. The pigeons like him.

I reckon I could fit two, maybe even three lions in there and drive around the Big Top scaring the kiddies. This is going to be so much fun!”
