Video: Matte Purple Mercedes-Benz SLS

From the "more money than taste" files comes this, a London-based matte purple SLS. We're familiar with the term "murdered-out" for matte black cars, but what applies here? Barneyed out? Graped Out?

 Watching the video, you'll quickly notice that this horror-show of a Mercedes isn't the only thing they've ruined left their own, individual stamp on.

This makes me wonder what would the Top Gear guys say to this? Because I got nothing.

I didn't think that the SLS could get uglier. I stand corrected.
That black/ red Veyron was beautiful.

As a segue, i just read the comparo test of the Benz SLS and Toyoto LooFa on automobile.com

The SLS is about 1/2 the price but wins... Apparently a huge issue with the Toyota is the 1st gen single clutch auto transmission, which was great about 8 years ago..

I don't mind the color so much (it's not great, but at least it's not pink) but combined with the black wheels, which I almost always hate on a car, bring the car from odd to ugly.

@desmolicious
If you actually read it you would have seen it said it's a matter of personal taste. And if you knew anything about cars you would have seen the LFA stats were WRONG. So before you become an immature Benz fanboy and hate on the LFA just because you know it's better than this Cher styled idiot winged car, get your facts straight.
