no more AMG
I'm not a fan. Looks like the love child of a X6 made love with a gopher, then that child made love to a fish with squited eyes. And sliding rear doors? I'm sick of manufactures trying to make cars look SUVish.

I like the direction they're going in with the design. Obviously the final production version will look nothing like that but I would certainly like to see some cues taken from this version.

^^^ Yup, the final product wont look much like what we see above. These are just ideas of the concept, in which the C and E might follow. So like or not, does not make much difference. The final product will not look like what you see anyway.

We'll see what it _really_ ends up looking like, but:

Pros:
Front profile.
Aggressiveness.

Cons:
High waist.

I dig this look:

Those are not suicide doors, those are air brakes. You know like the ones Kit from night rider. At top speed when you hammer the brakes the rear doors fly open to catch the wind like a parachute.

Looks nice but not digging the high waist of the car, windows look so small especially if you put your seat all the way down and arent to tall lol, but love the direction their going in!

Meh...no biggie...

+1 on the Mazda-esque look. The front lights and hood are resembling the BMW 5 series...

+1 on the vuluptuous bra model...

I like what I see except the top of the front grill protrudes too far forward, dial the grill back 10 degrees or so to make the car looks more aerodynamic from the side, then I'll have to trade my C63 in when this beast comes out.

Is car design trending back to the bubble? I thought that was over. I personally love the squarer look of the current C63. The interior too is better squared off.
