Mercedes to Unveil Fugly Recyclable Roadster

Mercedes plans to unveil this fugly "ECO ROADSTER" at the LA Autoshow November 29. Called "Recy," the open-top death trap is made from 100% recyclable wood, alloys, glass and rubber. The car is not a convertible -- it has no top. If ever there was a car in perfect tune with Los Angeles, this is it. The "Recy" is one of NINE ECO-FRIENDLY CARS participating in the L.A. Auto Show's third annual Design Challenge contest.
