Looks great! The real version probably would have a huge lateral crease in the sides of the car, like everything else MB and BMW have now, i.e. GLK, CLS, C, S, etc. etc.

Factotum, I believe the word you are looking for is “eye candy.” Unfortunately, “eye candy” and “solid long term premium value” (a trait MB was known for a few decades ago) don’t go hand-in-hand.

I long for the days when MB made cars that looked solid and muscular. This thing looks like the designers were trying too hard: overly swoopy with a face that only The Joker could love.

Can you imagine side windows smaller than the peepholes mounted on the MB CLS?

Excellent point, and that’s why I despise the CLS’s design: it’s a concept car, not a street car, and the lack of visibility is terrible.
