I'll wager that Mercedes' Vision R Grand Sports Tourer concept, shown at this year's Paris Auto Show, will end up as the king of all SUV crossovers — that is, if it ever sees pavement. Sporting a raked-back body style that resembles a chopped-and-channeled BMW X5, this Merc looks like its moving even while parked. Now, the Vision B, a smaller variant, is a different story. That thing's as pretty as a holiday ham.
