The shape looks kinda retro, like the SLS. I like the front of the current one and the back of this new one.

It looks like any other POS Mercedes to me. What are you talking about? They're all ugly.

I know, those are my favorite though! I like any of the AMG trims. I would trade my Camaro for a non black series C63 AMG in a heartbeat.

My dad, despite his years at GM, has been a Mercedes fanboy his entire life and even he hates the direction their designs have gone.

Again, I reference Top Gear: Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are all so obsessed with what each other is doing that they've ended up building the exact same cars.

And well I really love the designs mercedes has recently come up with, but if this is the direction theyre going towards, well ill be extremely dispointed.

I think I finally figured out BMWs philosophy
Build beautiful designs for two years, then make it ugly so that the next design will definitly be a sucess. Just look at every design theyve gone through. Each one that was breathtaking was followed by an ugly phase, then replaced by a breathtaking one, then replaced by something hideous and so on.
