Is it a Mercedes? Is it a Nissan? No, it's...

...A cruel fate to befall a nice Nissan coupe, we feel...

---

As a former Nissan 200SX owner, I still have a soft spot for most things rear-drive, coupe-shaped and with a Nissan badge.

As such, I find this S15 Silvia both fascinating and horrific.

Oddly enough, though, it's not the lovechild-of-a-Mercedes-CL-and-a-350Z looks that grate, so much as the nasty clip-on plastic bodykit and genuinely unpleasant chrome-effect alloys. Yuck.

Worst of all, this automotive hideousness is hung on what is purported to be a rather decent driver's car, no doubt spoiling it entirely. For shame...

^{Thanks to Farm of Minds for their endless quest to find ever more bizarre mutant vehicles...}

There are quite some madcaps around. Not only in Japan.

[chazwozza]

Someone please buy and then burn it. Horrid!

[Jez m]

What a way to ruin an S15!

[S18DMW]

One of the best looking cars Nissan have ever made and someone has doine this to it!

Not that the question 'what score would you give it on the PH'O'Meter' is in any way loaded, you understand...

[CrisW]

Is that matt white paint?

Hmmm not for me thanks.

[Bada Bing!]

Vile.

[M666 EVO]

I am confused, is it a cut and shut of a Merc and a Nissan?

[Baryonyx]

It's absolutely hideous.

[Zircon]

On certain rare days, the Japanese completely lose the plot!

Some credit must go to the lad for doing what he wants.. It's a shame that it's just so wrong!!

[Vantagefan]

Why do you do this to us PH?

Agreed.

[Crow555]

I'm repulsed, confused and angered, all at the same time.

Someone will pay for this atrocity, surely?

[Atrophy]

Should of sent a link to barrysboys
