The headlights and the Amby like curvature on the rear door- quarter panel, looks out of place on a "Mercedes"

narayan · 16th August 2008, 11:49

Front end is NOT AT ALL IMPRESSIVE - looks like some of the old LEXUSs...very clearly Japanese from the front..i wonder what LEXUS would do now!

rear is as bland as the old ACCORD.
side profile and the ELEVATED HOOD - straight off the NEW C CLASS - which of course was a design cue lifted straight off the ELEVATED BOOT LID as seen in some beemers

but i wonder how all this looks in FLESH

spawnofsatan · 16th August 2008, 11:58

The rear looks like the new 3 series coupe, especially the lights, hate the headlamps, what happened to the round ones?

akshay1234 · 16th August 2008, 12:03

i quite like it. the side profile is a bit like the cls.

SumitBahl · 16th August 2008, 13:08

Do not like the front.
Back lights are somewhat similar to Sonata Embera.
Not that its anything bad, but........ its E Class.

Interior design seems to be inspired by BMWs, rear looks quite similar to embera and front lights too much Lexusish.

I did not like it at all at first glance,lets wait for more pictures to term it good or bad.

Looks heavier. And looks like a product of Accord/ C class mating.

Edit: Newer one looks far better and more S-ish.

Lexus is what came to my mind on looking at the front view. pity it is so obvious.

bmw_m5_titus · 16th August 2008, 16:04

The thin line between the styling of the lexus luxo barges and the mercs seems to be getting even more blurred!
But it looks ok overall in the pics posted by anshuman. Personally didnt like the black control switched on the cream leather steering wheel!

Ahhhh...... much better pics.
Like the overall design and the curves.
Still feel that S-Class type lights would have suited better.

.anshuman · 16th August 2008, 16:09

The first pic here in my post looks like a photoshopped S class.

agspins · 16th August 2008, 16:11

That first car is absolute no-no..seems like modified hyundai or lexus....interiors also seem very c class.....
second car is much better..

JayD · 16th August 2008, 17:13

Man! It looks UGLY!!! Infact it seems like the uglier brother of the ugly new Accord!!
The second one looks like a modded lexus GS.
