Great read, SD987. Found your comments really interesting, having gone thru the comparison when I was shopping last fall. I was actually favoring the Mercedes-- less of a cult car, more inocuous, and i have loved all my mercedes and wanted to carry on the tradition.
However, I was completely turned off by the exterior and interior styling. From the outside it looks like a cartoon car (remember the Dick Tracy film?). The inside looked like a vegas casino. Ii was so turned off by the overdesigned bling, I didn't even want to test drive it.
The Box drives impeccably, if somewhat quirkily, and the design both inside and out can't be faulted (aside from the exaggerated haunches).
Obviously, everyone's criteria for selecting a car is somewhat different. I bought the Box for its styling, but have enjoyed it's other attributes immensely.
I don't think you'd go wrong with either car
