Often, some of the most interesting vehicle designs come from people who aren’t professional car designers. Graphic or concept artists like or have designed some of the most interesting and memorable cars in recent years — despite being about as far from auto manufacturer employment as one gets.

But, it seems the inverse is also true: People who are technically professional car designers can come up with just the worst shit imaginable. Take Will.I.Am, who worked with Mercedes-AMG to create... this.

Will.I.Am is no stranger to , and even less of a stranger to . He’s been in the industry for long enough that automakers should probably know how his designs will end up looking, but that doesn’t seem to stop either party.

The Will.I.AMG, as it’s called on Instagram, appears to be a typically curvy Mercedes sedan with the front end of a G-Wagen haphazardly pasted on in what we in the business call a . Does it work? God, no.

It’s unclear what vehicle from the Mercedes stable is serving as the basis for this gruesome chimera, the likes of which could only . The most logical answer would be the (real name), for which Mr. Am is , though the Will.I.AMG seems to have a slightly different rear pillar arrangement. Given the teaser’s dark lighting, it’s unclear how different that shape really is, but it’s likely we’ll find out on Thursday when this vehicle is released upon the unsuspecting public. Presumably to punish us for our sins.

The Will.I.AMG haunts me from the dark corners of my vision, appearing in shadows and jolting me awake from half-remembered dreams, never allowing my soul a single moment of rest or peace. Good luck to you all upon its reveal.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
