Mercedes-Benz SL Seats: Inspired From E.T.... | Carscoop

We couldn’t agree more with our reader “Sketcher” who sent us this photo of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL’s interior (click here); Merc’s designers must have spent many hours watching E.T. again and again before they started working on the shape of the SL’s seats fitted with the AIRSCARF neck-level heating system. Damn; even the air-vent looks like E.T.’s mouth!

Thanks for the pic Sketcher!

    I was going to say that myself but wasn't sure how to contact the authors of this site. Sorry folks, the seats are nice than ET and I always thought he was ugly.
    Why didn't Speilberg at least give ET fur or something.

    Is there really a need to design a good looking alien?? :)
