ALPINE Mercedes-Benz RLS Super Suv

Designed and built by Alpine’s in-house Advanced Application R & D team of Steve Brown, Gary Bell, Brent Davison and Glen Swackhamer from Alpine of Canada, the IMPRINT RLS is the newest creation to emerge from Alpine’s North American headquarters in Torrance, Calif.

The goal of the Alpine team was to build a great-sounding show car that was sleek and sophisticated, yet with custom work that would make it one-of-a-kind. The striking shape of the RLS was created entirely by hand, using only the original roof from the R500.

OMG. I love the origionality. This is a very kickass car. I really love the front end-very well done. Im not so crazy about the rear, but I cannot think how I would design it different.

Well done guys.

Original and creative yet uglier than a Pontiac Aztek. The body work is original but is very poorly executed - look at the uneven reflection of the side body panels. It seems these designers do not know what SMOOTH means. The interior is original but would require a closer look to gauge the comfort and usefulness of the built-in features. As for the rear "thing" sticking out of the back of the SUV. What is the purpose of it? Who would want to play with the sound system -if that is what it is - while the trunk (speakers inside) is closed???

It seems that this monstrosity is purely to get the name advertised.
