Mercedes version of the Volvo S60 concept? But why, it was ugly as a volvo and just as ugly as a mercedes. Is this what the next generation of cars is going to look like?

I like it but then I like the Volvo. Volvos tuck in far more in the rear.
EDIT: I should have said tuck in the cabin far more in the rear

There's a lotta CLS design influence there. Kinda too fluid. I like the abrupt agression in the 204's stance and facia.
What I'm more interested in seeing are the new CLS and E-Wagon.

Looks absolutely horrible IMO. I see Chris Bangle's design influences are still floating around the auto industry even though he is out. Really unfortunate step back in overall design on the C-Class AGAIN
Sorry Glyn, guess I am just old school and appreciate classic styling, since I don't care for the styling of most cars built in the last 5 or so years.

Ya they really are. Is it me or does the front look wider than the back? The front wheels look more popped out. I think some nice big lip wheels will go well with the car. The front fender looks it grooves out more.

The CLK was replaced by the E Coupe.
Keep in mind that the CLS is designated the 4-door coupe.

If anyone had the ***** to build exactly that it would become a modern day classic. Trouble is they won't - Too scared of offending their conservative base. It has modernised all the old SL300 styling cues into a sedan.
